Two late goals preserved champions Bayern Munich's record unbeaten league run on Wednesday as they came from behind to beat Stuttgart 2-1 and extend the streak to 43 matches.
Thiago's winner, which also marked his first goal for Bayern, was a superb volley in the third minute of time added on giving the champions their 16th win in 18 matches.
Bayern were 14 minutes from seeing their record run -- dating back to October 2012 -- come to an end before Claudio Pizarro's equaliser cancelled out Vedad Ibisevic's first-half goal.
This was a re-arranged fixture from December when Bayern were in Morocco winning the Club World Cup, but the Bavarians did not have things their own way for a change.
Bayern are on a host of league records -- this was their 28th away match without defeat.
And with 50 points from 18 games, coach Pep Guardiola has made the best start of any coach in Bundesliga history.
The fixture:
The match on Wednesday (8 pm cet):
