    • Bayern Munich
    • FC Barcelona
    • 90+1' That's it, the full-time whistle goes at the Allianz Arena, and Barcelona go through to the semi-finals where they will face Chelsea. It has ended 1-1 here, with Keita's strike cancelling out Ribery's earlier goal. Thanks for joining us!
    • 90' Just one minute will be added, with both sides settling for a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena.
    • 89' The game peters out, with even Bayern content to just pass the ball around without ambtition.
    • 88' Ribery is continuing to look bright, despite his side's impending plight, and he chases Alves down the wing, before feeding Altintop.
    • 87' Xavi and Hleb again combine to good effect down the left wing, but Lell finally regains possession for Bayern.
    • 86' Alves and Messi indulge in some 'Hollywood' passes, raking from one side to the other, as Bayern chase shadows out there.
    • 85' Lell enjoys another marauding run down the right for Bayern, relishing his new freedom to attack at will, but his cross is over-hit for Toni.
    • 84' Messi looks an isolated figure out on the right, as all the play goes through Xavi and now Hleb down the left.
    • 83' Bayern are struggling to find the motivation now, as just Borowski chases down the Barcelona defenders as they pass the ball around serenely.
    • 82' Xavi hits the side-netting of Butt's goal and sends the visiting fans wild, until they realise it didn't go in.
    • 81' Bayern are being pushed further and further into their own half now as Barcelona are enjoying themselves.
    • 80' Tim Borowski is booked, only minutes after coming on the pitch for a niggly challenge on Messi.
    • 79' Klinsmann shakes his head in a resigned manner as his side cannot find any way back into this tie.
    • 78' Borowski also comes on for Sosa for Bayern, while Iniesta is replaced by Hleb - it's all change now.
    • 77' Indeed, Ze Roberto coming off with Altintop replacing him.
    • 76' Ze Roberto looks very tired and it will likely be his number coming up.
    • 75' Another Bayern attack peters out as Pique intercepts well with a clean tackle on Ribery.
    • 74' Klinsmann has his entire bench warming up as he looks to throw on Altintop and Borowski, we'll have to wait and see.
    • 73' Puyol and Valdes exchange passes at a relaxed pace now as Barcelona look to have sealed their place in the semi finals, if they had not already done after the first leg.
    • 72' GOAL!!! Seydou Keita equalises for Barcelona with a thunderous drive from the edge of the Bayern box, to put the tie to bed! The midfielder picked up a loose ball after Iniesta and Eto'o had combined inside the box to level the scores.
    • 71' Jurgen Klinsmann is becoming increasingly frustrated at his side's lack of potency, apart from Ribery's strike.
    • 70' Iniesta buys a free-kick for Barca by falling into Lell, which the referee falls for amazingly - but it is struck over the bar by Messi.
    • 69' An unbelievable sliding tackle from the excellent Lucio denies Eto'o as the striker was about to shoot from inside the Bayern box - that was an impeccably-timed challenge.
    • 68' Ribery and Messi have a little tussle inside the Bayern half, as the Frenchman charges back to tackle his counterpart.
    • 67' Toni then attempts an overly ambitious volley inside the box, and falls flat on his face - not pretty from the big man.
    • 66' Sosa goes down in the box for Bayern, but it is a pretty hopeless attempt to get a penalty.
    • 65' Lell is marauding down the right wing at every opportunity, with Iniesta finding evermore space out on the left flank.
    • 64' Barcelona are happy to sit back on this scoreline seemingly, with the onus on Bayern to push forward for more goals.
    • 63' Ze Roberto looks aghast as the referee waves play on after he was dumped on the ground following a challenge from Alves.
    • 62' Sosa shows great feet in jinking past Puyol, but the Spaniard recovers to regain possession for the visitors.
    • 61' To have a look at Franck Ribery's profile, click here.
    • 60' Iniesta is bundled over by Van Bommel, but no booking is warranted in this case.
    • 59' Bayern are trying desperately to feed Ribery outwide, but Dani Alves is sticking to him like glue.
    • 58' Lionel Messi is put through on goal by Xavi, but is ruled offside, with Demichelis stepping up well.
    • 57' A delivery from Sosa attempts to pick out Toni in the Barca box, but the Italian can't meet the cross.
    • 56' Victor Valdes barks instructions at his defenders after Puyol concedes a corner with some efficient covering.
    • 55' Poor play from Jose Sosa gives possession away for Bayern, with Barcelona piling on the pressure in their opponent's half now.
    • 54' Iniesta goes down in the penalty area looking for a penalty, but the referee waves play on, with Christian Lell looking bemused.
    • 53' Barcelona come very close to equalising through Lionel Messi as a deep ball from Daniel Alves almost finds the winger at the back post, but Lucio somehow clears.
    • 52' Didier Drogba has grabbed a goal for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge - to hear about that game in more detail click here.
    • 51' Toni flicks a header into the path of Ze Roberto, but the Brazilian is ruled offside as he was through on goal - marginal but correct.
    • 50' Xavi and Eto'o combine neatly on the edge of their opponent's box, before Lucio intercepts gracefully.
    • 49' Barcelona, rather than being shocked into action, have decided to keep hold of the ball in their half.
    • 48' Lahm defends stoutly once more as Messi looked to nutmeg the full-back, but to no avail.
    • 47' GOAL!!! Franck Ribery gives Bayern the perfect start to the second half, giving his side the lead! The winger collected a neat pass from Ze Roberto, before showing real composure in sending Valdes to ground with a dummy and lofting his shot over the keeper into the top corner.
    • 46' We're back underway in Munich, and neither manager has deemed it fit to make any half-time changes.
    • 45+1' The half-time whistle goes at the Allianz Arena, and it remains goalless, much to the home side's frustration.
    • 45' Just the one minute to be added at the end of this fast-paced, but ultimately tepid first half.
    • 44' Boos ring out around the Allianz Arena as Toni is tripped by Gerard Pique, but a corner is given instead of a free-kick.
    • 43' Another fine tackle from Lucio on the edge of the Bayern box denies Eto'o from having a shot.
    • 42' The play is becoming increasingly fragmented, as neither side is able to gain the initiative, but Klinsmann will have to attack more in the second half.
    • 41' Martin Demichelis clumsily charges into the back of Eto'o as the striker was receiving a pass from Messi, and the defender is booked and subsequently misses the next round (unlikely I know)!
    • 40' Franck Ribery cuts inside to collect a pass from Ze Roberto, before unleashing a fierce drive, which narrowly drifts past Valdes's near post.
    • 39' Van Bommel recovers brilliantly for Bayern to dispossess Messi on the edge of his box, with the winger having bustled his way through his opponent's half unoppossed.
    • 38' Xavi, who has been quite quiet thus far, slips a nice ball through to Eto'o, but the striker fails to turn Lucio, who is far too sharp for that kind of attempt.
    • 37' Ze Roberto scurries down the left wing on the counter-attack, and he settles for winning a corner at the expense of Puyol.
    • 36' A free-kick 25 yards out for Barcelona is blasted into the wall by Alves, with very little tact, and Bayern break.
    • 35' Iniesta trudges over, from one side of the pitch to the other to take a corner - is it really that desperate, who takes a standard set-piece like that? Surely Alves could whip one in.
    • 34' Again an exasperated Toni is ruled offside, after a good knock-on header from Ottl puts the striker through on goal - Bayern can't afford to waste good opportunities like that.
    • 33' A decent chance presents itself to Eto'o who bustles his way through on goal, but just as he looks to slot his shot past Butt, Lahm makes a good block.
    • 32' Another Bayern break is halted by a fine tackle by Puyol, who barring the challenge which got him booked, as looked very assured at the back.
    • 31' Ribery looks to jink his way to glory for Bayern, twisting Dani Alves inside, then out, before losing the ball tamely to the defender - schoolboy stuff.
    • 30' Another threatening free kick is whipped in by Iniesta from the left, but a fine headed clearance by Christian Lell this time alleviates the danger.
    • 29' Jurgen Klinsmann looks understandably agitated on the touchline as his side fail to exert their dominance on the match as they need to.
    • 28' Barcelona have a dangerous free-kick on the edge of the Bayern box, but it is cleared away by Lahm at the back post.
    • 27' There has been another goal at Stamford Bridge, with Liverpool levelling the tie intriguingly at 3-3. To find out all the details, click here.
    • 26' The tempo of the game has slowed markedly since Puyol's tackle, but Bayern have showed urgency, if not the ability to keep the ball for sufficient periods of time.
    • 25' Carlos Puyol is booked for a reckless tackle on Ze Roberto and there was no need for that with the game situated as it is.
    • 24' Valdes does well to get a faint touch on a cross from Ze Roberto, which almost found Toni at the back post.
    • 23' Messi has been tightly marked by Lahm thus far, but the Argentine almost wriggles through a tackle into the box, but not quite.
    • 22' Cheers ring out from the away supporters, who from their corner mark every Barcelona pass as a statement of their dominance.
    • 21' Bayern are boxed into their own half right now, and can't seem to find a way out. Toni is attempting in vain to hold the ball up whenever he receives a long ball upfield.
    • 20' Iniesta forages a path into the area down the left, but his ball inside to Eto'o is mis-controlled by the striker, who could have had a decent shooting chance from there.
    • 19' It's 0-0 as we approach the halfway point in the first half, and Joachim Lowe is also up in the stands alongside his trusty aide Oliver Bierhoff.
    • 18' Just to remind you that Thierry Henry is on the substitutes bench, as a shot of him blowing his nose tells you all you need to know - the man clearly feels decidedly groggy.
    • 17' The visitors are keeping possession at will, with Pep Guardiola looking very satisfied up in the stands.
    • 16' There has been a goal at Stamford Bridge, and Liverpool are back in the tie. To hear all about it, click here.
    • 15' Barcelona pass the ball around with little more urgency than you would expect for a team 4-0 up on aggregate.
    • 14' Toure is back on the field and strokes a pass outwide to Alves, who loses the ball to Ze Roberto, but the move peters out as Toni over-hits a through ball.
    • 13' Mark van Bommel attempts a hopelessly ambitious long-range drive, which Victor Valdes watches calmly over the bar.
    • 12' Yaya Toure is down on the floor clutchign his hamstring it looks like, following a tackle from Toni, and he limps to the side to receive a nice spray.
    • 11' Franck Ribery gets into the game for the first time in earnest - skipping past Seydou Keita, but then being dispossessed by Dani Alves.
    • 10' Butt clears up field and Toni gets a head on it, like he should have five minutes ago, but this time there is no one in support of him.
    • 9' After Luca Toni's poor early effort, let's have a look at his profile - the boy can finish, really! To see the evidence click here.
    • 8' Barcelona enjoy a nice spell of possession, with Eto'o linking up well with Messi and Iniesta, but Lucio shows his pace in covering the striker's run.
    • 7' Ze Roberto is out on the left for Barcelona, and he does a poor job of tracking Lionel Messi, but Philipp Lahm comes to the rescue with a neat tackle.
    • 6' Luca Toni slams home a loose ball from close range, but he is a good two yards offside - no complaints there.
    • 5' Luca Toni has the worst attempt at a free header you will ever see! The ball came straight to him from a pin-point cross out on the right wing by Jose Sosa, and the Italian simply missed it, completely unmarked - he should have scored.
    • 4' Demichelis and Lucio exchange passes at the back, with just Eto'o closing them down.
    • 3' Bayern start the brighter and Ze Roberto is ruled offside in what looked to be an openiing for the hosts, with Klinsmann unhappy with the decision.
    • 2' Lucio starts the game full of aggression, making a sturdy tackle on Yaya Toure, following through, then having a fierce row with the referee - somebody's fired up.
    • 1' We're underway at the Allianz Arena in Munich, and there is a fervent atmosphere in the stadium as Barcelona kick-off.
