It's all over in Portugal and Bayern Munich are heading through to the Champions League semi-finals for the third straight time in Pep Guardiola's tenure. It wasn't quite as comfortable as it looked like it could have been at one stage of the evening, but the Germans win 3-2 on aggregate and will now wait with interest to see who they get in Friday's draw. It's going to be Manchester City, isn't it? Fate says it has to be. At the Estadio da Luz it finishes Benfica 2, Bayern 2.
92'
Gotze replaces Ribery for the final minute of the game.
91'
Ribery's skill is too much for Almeida and he lures the midfielder into a foul. It's a clear booking and the Benfica man has no complaints.
90'

The game ticks over into three minutes of stoppage time and this tie is surely Bayern's now.
89'
Bernat replaces the superb Alonso for the final few minutes.
88'
Lewandowksi is clean through on goal and tries to open his body up to curl a shot beyond the goalkeeper, but he doesn't catch it properly and it's an easy save.
87'
Luka Jovic comes on for Benfica. The youngster is going to need to produce a miracle because time is rapidly running out.
86'

85'

Talisca has quite some shot on him. The sub curls a gem of a free-kick effort past the diving Neuer... but also fractionally past the post.
84'
Bayern give away a free-kick and it's going to be Talisca again...
83'

Lewandowski has scored seven goals in three games as a substitute this season.
82'
Guardiola opts to make a change. Off goes Muller and on comes Lewandowski. That's not a bad sub to be able to bring on.
80'
Muller collects the ball in the box and is ready to pull the trigger, but the ball is taken straight off his toe in the nick of time.
79'

78'
The Estadio da Luz has come to life. Surely they can't do it? It's going to be a case of trying to get the ball first for Benfica - Bayern are using every trick in the book to try and take the sting out of the game.
77'

76'
GOOOAAALLL!!! Finally we're ready to resume... and Talisca punishes the foul with clinical precision, curling in a beauty of a free-kick to make it 2-2 on the night. Benfica still need two goals, but there's a faint glimmer of hope.
75'
It wasn't just the players and fans who were upset about that decision and the Benfica manager has been ordered from the dugout by the referee.
73'
Martinez makes a foul right on the edge of the area. It's not a penalty, but could easily be a sending off. The referee disagrees and brandishes a yellow card, which infuriates the home team and fans.
72'

Vidal dribbles a shot towards goal after great work by Muller to tee him up, but Ederson lets it squirm out of his grasp and is a very relieved man to see the loose ball sneak past the post.
