Bayern reach third semi in four years

Bayern Munich reached their third Champions League semi-final in four years after knocking out Juventus.

Leading 2-0 from the first leg, the Germans were again comfortable as Mario Mandzukic headed in Bastian Schweinsteiger's free-kick before Claudio Pizarro slotted in late on.

Arjen Robben also hit the post as Bayern created the best chances.

Juve were restricted to Andrea Pirlo's saved free-kick and Fabio Quagliarella's shot which hit the post.

The scoreline mirrored the first leg in Munich, and there was again a gulf in class between the two teams who are top of their respective domestic leagues.

Bayern secured their 23rd German league title last Saturday and join fellow German team Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last four, brimming with confidence and eager to eclipse the defeat by Chelsea in last season's final.

It was a disappointing end to Juventus's European campaign but they will return to Serie A with a nine-point lead over Napoli, confident that they can add another domestic honour.
