- Bayern Munich held a 4‑3 win (6‑4 aggregate) over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter‑final second leg at the Allianz Arena.
- Arda Guler scored the season’s fastest Champions League goal, 35 seconds in, after a mistake by Manuel Neuer.
- Eduardo Camavinga received a second yellow for time‑wasting with four minutes left, leading to his dismissal and Real Madrid’s loss of momentum.
- Luis Diaz and Michael Olise each scored late goals for Bayern, sealing the victory in the 89th minute and stoppage time.
- Manuel Neuer has made 14 Champions League errors leading to a goal since 2003‑04, the most of any player in that period.
- Vincent Kompany praised his side’s mental resilience after the late comeback, while Alvaro Arbeloa called the red‑card decision “unfair”.
Why it matters: Bayern’s victory secures a semi‑final berth against Paris Saint‑Germain, while Real’s elimination demonstrates how late red‑card dismissals can erase a two‑goal aggregate lead, and the early error by Manuel Neuer that enabled Arda Guler’s record‑fast strike set the match’s frenetic tempo.
