<\/p>\nFootball fans watching from the world over were treated to a remarkable spectacle on Wednesday as Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich went toe-to-toe with a star-packed Real Madrid side in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final and emerged as 4-3 winners on the night, progressing 6-4 on aggregate.<\/p>\n
The Sun\u00a0summed up the mood of a lot of neutrals who had tuned in, writing: “If only our best Premier League games could be half as good as this.\u00a0While most Prem clashes have become stodgy snorefests obsessed with set-pieces, this breathless belter was the Beautiful Game in its truest form.”<\/p>\n
The BBC noted: “Seven goals, two red cards and the competition’s 15-time winners exiting in anger – once again the knockout stages of European club football’s elite contest has delivered drama in spades.”<\/p>\n

Vincent Kompany<\/a> had been clear of the approach ahead of the second leg, dismissing suggestions Bayern could have played more cautiously after going 2-0 up in the first leg in Madrid<\/a> by saying the players “had earned the right to be themselves”.<\/p>\n His charges embraced those words in breathtaking fashion, having the confidence to come from behind three times to triumph.<\/p>\n At the centre of their remarkable resilience was\u00a0Jamal Musiala<\/a>, who looked to have finally put his injury woes behind him in a superb showing in the 5-0 win at St. Pauli<\/a> last weekend, and was at his unplayable best after coming on in the 61st minute. His delightful backheeled assist to Luis D\u00edaz<\/a> for Bayern’s crucial third goal was a huge moment.<\/p>\n Watch: Musiala scores and assists in win at St. Pauli<\/p>\n
