Bayern Munich have made it to the Champions League semi-finals in five of the last six seasons. It looks set to be six from seven.

Pep is still pacing the touchline looking concerned, but his team are bossing this game. They've sat slightly deeper since the second goal, allowing Benfica to come out and leave space in behind. This could get messy...
53'
Bayern break and Costa's pace sends him clear. His first touch is slightly heavy and the keeper comes charging out to make a crucial save... but being hit on the break is going to be the danger for Benfica now.

GOOOAAALLL!!! Bayern are in complete control of the tie as Martinez heads an Alonso corner back across the box and Muller taps it in. It's 3-1 on aggregate, with Benfica now needing three goals without reply to turn this around.

Renato Sanches shows impressive strength to bump off his marker and try and set up a one-two, but he's taken out by a covering defender. The referee opts to wave play on, presumably because the midfielder wasn't getting close to the return pass in any case.
