THE FUSE

By Razeen Gutta

Bayern Munich booked a Champions League semi-final clash with holders Paris Saint-Germain after a dramatic 4-3 win over Real Madrid on Wednesday, sealing a 6-4 aggregate victory.

The second leg at the Allianz Arena was level on aggregate at half-time after a chaotic opening 45 where Real Madrid took the lead three times.

Bayern had won 2-1 in Madrid last week, but Arda Guler punished a Manuel Neuer error inside 34 seconds to put the visitors ahead.

Aleksandar Pavlovic quickly equalised, only for Guler to restore Real’s lead from a free-kick.

Harry Kane made it 2-2 before Kylian Mbappe struck to give Madrid a 3-2 lead at the break and level the tie 4-4 on aggregate.

With Eduardo Camavinga sent off for a second yellow card late on, Bayern seized control.

Luis Diaz fired in from range via a deflection and Michael Olise curled home on the break in stoppage time to secure the win.

Tempers flared after the final whistle, with Guler shown a straight red for confronting the referee.

Bayern will now face PSG, who overcame an Anfield storm on Tuesday with two late Ousmane Dembele goals to put Liverpool away 4-0 on aggregate.

In the other last four tie, Arsenal will take on Atletico Madrid after the Gunners drew 0-0 with Sporting to win 1-0 on aggregate and Atleti scored a crucial goal against Barcelona to progress by three goals to two.
