Bayern Munich vs. Atletico Madrid: Winners and Losers from Champions League

Atletico Madrid beat Bayern Munich on away goals in thrilling circumstances on Tuesday night to progress to the UEFA Champions League final.

Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Atleti sat deep and let Bayern dominate the first half, which looked costly when Xabi Alonso scored a deflected free-kick. Thomas Muller then missed a penalty, which would have put Bayern ahead on aggregate, and Antoine Griezmann scored on the counter-attack for a precious away goal for Atleti.

Robert Lewandowski scored for Bayern and Fernando Torres also missed from the spot, but the final score of 2-1 on the night, 2-2 on aggregate, meant that Griezmann's strike was enough to send the Spanish side through to face Manchester City or Real Madrid.
