Overview
- VfB Stuttgart beat Bayer Leverkusen 3–1 as Deniz Undav finished a Jamie Leweling cross for his 19th goal of the season.
- The striker lined up with Angelo Stiller and Ermedin Demirovic for a salute that he linked to social-media memes about Kylian Mbappé.
- He also tapped his wrist and said the gesture was “Dame Time,” a nod to NBA guard Damian Lillard.
- Undav trained less this week because of Achilles soreness and left after 68 minutes as a precaution, he said.
- Stuttgart now turn to Eintracht Frankfurt for a match that will decide their Champions League place.
