Bayern Munich launched their second stunning comeback in two ties against Manchester United to knock out Sir Alex Ferguson's side. Louis van Gaal's Bayern had scored twice in the last 13 minutes to salvage a 2-1 win in their home leg but United took charge of the tie back in Old Trafford.

Ferguson's men raced into a 4-2 aggregate lead thanks to Nani's brace and a Darron Gibson strike, with the Portuguese's first scored via a brilliant side-footed flick.But Ivica Olic outwrestled Michael Carrick to poke home before the interval and five minutes after the restart Rafael was sent off for a second yellow card as the match started to slip away from United.

And in the 77th minute, Munich completed the comeback — as Arjen Robben's sweetly-struck volley straight from a corner sent Bayern through on away goals.
