Manuel Neuer has explained his uncharacteristic mistake during Bayern Munich's shock Bundesliga defeat away at Mainz, insisting "it was a flutter ball".
Bayern missed the chance to clinch their ninth successive league title after losing 2-1 at the Opel Arena, with Jonathan Burkardt and Robin Quaison scoring for the hosts before Robert Lewandowski netted a late consolation for Hansi Flick's side.
Burkhardt put Mainz ahead when Neuer fumbled his volley from just outside the box into the net, but the German shot-stopper claims he was just the victim of bad fortune.
