Heart-stopping Bayern Munich leave it late to beat Juventus for last eight Champions League spot

Bayern Munich staged a sensational comeback, scoring twice in extra time after battling back from two goals down to beat Juventus 4-2 on Wednesday and march into the Champions League last eight with a 6-4 aggregate victory.

Thiago Alcantara drilled in after 108 minutes and Kingsley Coman curled in their fourth goal as Bayern, who needed a 90th-minute equaliser from Thomas Mueller to force extra time, finished stronger to keep up their treble hopes.

In a reverse of the first leg when Juve came back from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2, Bayern dug deep to score twice in the second half.

“This was a game that affects your heart rate,” said Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

“It was a very emotional game, a case of deja-vu but with a different outcome from the first leg. But it must be said that Juve are a bit unlucky to go out like that.”

It was a bitter defeat for last season’s runners-up Juve, who ran out of steam in extra time to leave domestic titles as their only potential silverware this season.

“It was a crazy game. Juve played well at the back and we let in two goals. That should never have happened,” said Bayern scorer Mueller. “Mentally it became a different game. But we said we can make it and we kept our cool.”
