Bayern Munich 4-3 Real Madrid (6-4 agg): Michael Olise nets stunner as Bayern edge Champions League thriller

Matchwinner: Luis Diaz - (REUTERS)

Luis Diaz and Michael Olise fired Bayern Munich past 10-man Real Madrid and into a Champions League semi-final showdown with Paris St Germain in a dramatic conclusion to a pulsating tie.

Less than three minutes after Madrid substitute Eduardo Camavinga had been sent off, Diaz drilled home his side's third equaliser before Olise struck in stoppage time to clinch a 4-3 win on the night.

The victory extended Bayern's unbeaten run to 16 games in all competitions and sealed a 6-4 aggregate triumph, a first over the Spanish giants in a two-legged tie since 2012.

On a night when the 15-times winners were made to pay for indiscipline - Arda Guler was also dismissed after the final whistle - the game remained in the melting pot throughout.

Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's uncharacteristic blunder just 35 seconds after kick-off allowed Guler to fire the visitors in front, but Aleksandar Pavlovic's sixth-minute equaliser set the stage for a gloriously-open encounter.

Guler's stunning free-kick levelled the aggregate scores once again, but Harry Kane's 50th goal of the season restored the hosts' advantage before Kylian Mbappe struck for the 15th time in this season's competition.

However, Camavinga's second yellow card sparked a late collapse in which Diaz and Olise found the quality to win it.
