Manchester City are through to the last four of the Champions League again - but boy did they have to suffer for it.
Pep Guardiola was exhausted after the first leg because Bayern Munich did things to his team that nobody else has this season, and the Blues' defence was repeatedly shredded at a fiery Allianz Arena in a game played at a blistering pace. Never has a 3-0 lead felt so fragile.
If the first leg was played on a knife edge, this was a knife edge on a precipice with City as determined to keep control as Bayern were happy to play fast and loose. Poor decision-making from the home side contributed to their exit despite the immense energy in their performance, but City absorbed all of the pressure and survived every difficulty they endured to leave Germany with a return date against Real Madrid in the diary.
