Bayern vs Real Madrid 4-3 (6-4 agg): Champions League – as it happened

That’s it for our live coverage of Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The German giants join Arsenal, PSG and Atletico Madrid in the semifinals after a remarkable 4-3 win over Real Madrid in Munich.

We’ll be bringing all of the action from the semis in a few weeks, but for now, from me, Adam Hancock, and my colleague, Patrick Keddie, it is time to say goodbye.

Harry Kane has also been giving his reaction to this evening’s game. This is what he just told TNT Sports:

“It feels amazing now. It was a tough game; we knew it was gonna be difficult. Real Madrid in the Champions League have this special connection, and you need to be at the highest level to beat them and knock them out.”

On scoring 50 goals in a season: “I think it’s a reward for a lot of the hard work that we put in. Not just me, but the team. It wouldn’t be possible without the payers around me. For me, it is about keeping it going.”

It was a remarkable game in Munich this evening with seven goals and a red card.

The Gunners drew 0-0 with Sporting in North London this evening, ensuring that they reach the Champions League semifinals for the second successive season.

It was by no means a classic at Emirates Stadium, but the Premier League leaders did enough after winning the first leg 1-0.

Mikel Arteta’s side will face Atletico Madrid in the last four.

Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa has given his reaction to tonight’s match. Here is what he told TNT Sports:

“I think that was a great match in this second leg. We put players like Militao and Bellingham in, they couldn’t play in the first leg. We did a great match here, and we scored three goals, but I think with the red card, everything was over.”

On the red card: “It’s unbelievable that you send off the player for this action. It’s not possible in a match like that, that you are sent off for that. We feel really, really upset and really angry.”

On if this match was season-defining for Madrid: “Yes. Maybe because in La Liga everything is really difficult and there is a nine-point difference with Barcelona, but we have some matches to play, and we have to give our best.”

If Los Blancos do end the season trophyless, then questions will be asked about the future of manager Alvaro Arbeloa.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Steve McManaman and ex-Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard have been discussing the situation on TNT Sports.

“They are going to finish the season without a trophy again this year … previous seasons have always suggested that they will change the manager, and unfortunately, you feel sorry for Arbeloa tonight, as his game plan was excellent,” said McManaman.

“He probably will lose his job, but I don’t think he deserves that on the evidence of tonight,” added Gerrard.

Los Blancos are nine points behind Barcelona in La Liga and now out of the Champions League.

They certainly battled hard this evening and made Bayern work for their win, but it wasn’t enough, and they now face the very real possibility of a season without a trophy.

There are reports that Madrid’s protests against the referee have continued in the tunnel.

A number of players ran straight to Slavko Vincic after the full-time whistle, clearly unhappy with his decision to show Camavinga a second yellow.

It looked like Guler was shown a red card in the chaos that followed the full-time whistle.

After a wonderful game of football, and a magnificent tie, Bayern have booked their place in the semifinals of the Champions League.

Olise’s late goal was the icing on the cake, securing a 4-3 victory on the night and a 6-4 win on aggregate.

The Bayern players are celebrating in front of their fans and jumping up and down arm-in-arm.

An ugly end for Real Madrid. They are not happy about something, and Guler picks up a red card after the full-time whistle.

We’ll bring you more details of what exactly happened there.

After a number of attempts, Olise finally gets his goal.

The Bayern man breaks away and decides against playing down the clock, instead he smashes a shot past Lunin.

That’s full-time, and Bayern have booked their place in the last four!

A brilliant finish to seal the deal!

Madrid are throwing everyone forward for these final few minutes.

It leaves the door open to Bayern who break at speed, but the ball evades Olise.

Just more than a minute left.

Can 10-man Madrid pull something really special out of the bag?

90+2 mins: Bayern Munich 3-3 Real Madrid (Aggregate: 5-4)

Diaz plays a one-two with Musiala on the edge of the area before whipping a right-footed shot at goal.

The ball takes a tiny touch off Militao, and it is just enough to take the shot out of the reach of Lunin.
