Overview
- Bayern Munich, which trailed late on Wednesday, beat Real Madrid 4-3 to win the quarterfinal tie and advance to the Champions League semifinals.
- The turning point came in the 86th minute when Eduardo Camavinga received a second yellow card, and Bayern struck through Luis Díaz in the 89th minute before Michael Olise hit the stoppage-time winner.
- The win sets up a last‑four meeting with Paris Saint‑Germain and guarantees Bayern an added €15 million from UEFA, lifting their Champions League earnings to about €83.4 million with the total potentially nearing €150 million if they reach the final.
- Stadium security came under fire after fans spilled onto the pitch following the winner and overran Reuters photographer Oliver Pfaffenbach, who lost consciousness and later reported bruising and damage concerns for his equipment.
- Spanish reports say Real coach Álvaro Arbeloa could be replaced after the exit, with candidates such as Zinedine Zidane, Didier Deschamps, and Mauricio Pochettino floated, while in a separate update NBA forward Franz Wagner said he is short of full form as Orlando faces a must‑win play‑in game this week.
