Tom Garry was in Munich and here is his verdict:
double quotation markTrailing 3-2 from last week’s first leg at Old Trafford, United always faced an uphill task but they gave themselves hope with one of their best performance in recent weeks, but Bayern, backed by a vibrant 25,000-strong crowd, never trailed on aggregate across the entire tie and there was an air of inevitability about their late breakthrough. Barcelona almost certainly await them in the last four, as they lead Real Madrid 6-2 on aggregate before Thursday’s second leg in Catalonia.
That is all from me but fear not, the football continues. Chelsea v Arsenal kicks off at 8pm BST and you can follow along with Will Unwin.
Maya Le Tissier speaks to Disney+:
double quotation markI am fuming, to be fair. Two set pieces, it seems every game we get knocked out on set pieces. Same thing in the FA Cup.
We fully beleived we could go on and win so everyone is dissapointed.
Bayern upped their energy in the second half, and we didn’t match it. I don’t know why. We give all our energy to every game and this is the Champions League. Deep down we can be proud, this is our first appearance in the Champions League [proper]. We have made history.
The Bayern Munich players are all bouncing up and down, celebrating with their fans. Linda Dallmann has got ahold of bullhorn and is having an absolute blast. This is the team’s first semi-final in this competition since 2020-21.

The United players and staff and all huddled together in a circle, looking understandably disappointed. They played well for at least an hour tonight but eventually, the Bayern pressure was too strong.
The damage was done in the first leg with those Pernille Harder runs in behind the defence and her two goals in that 3-2 win last week. It has been a strong campaign from United in Europe but their journey ends here. They were second best overall across the two legs, I think that’s fair to say. Albeit, it was close.
ShareFull-time: Bayern Munich 2-1 Manchester United (5-3 on agg)
It is a Bayern blow for Manchester United. Malard’s early goal offered some hope but a relentless second half, and 12 corners later, Bayern Munich drew level on the night and pulled ahead on aggregate with a glancing header from Viggosdottir. Dallmann added another a few minutes later to secure the German giants’ Champions League semi-final spot. They will face either Real Madrid or Barcelona.

90+4 min: United struggling to get sustained possession of the ball.
90+2 min: Le Tissier gets booked for a foul on Dallmann. It is quite soft.
90 min: Four minutes of added time. Can United score a quick double like their opponents have?
90 min: Ballisager comes on for Gwinn. All about game management for the hosts now.
87 min: Miyazawa lets it fly! She shoots from distance and Mahmutovic just tips it over. The referee fails to spot the touch though and United are denied a corner.
86 min: Bayern make a change with Caruso coming on for Simon. United then make a double change with Turner and Lundkvist coming off for George and Schüller.
ShareGOAL! Bayern Munich 2-1 Manchester United (Dallmann 84); 5-3 on agg
Two goals in three minutes! A looping header is cleared off the line but the ball falls to Dallmann, and she rifles it in. No chance for Tullis-Joyce. That is the nail in the coffin for Manchester United.

83 min: Bayern are energised after that goal from their captain. Manchester United really need to go for it now. They have seven minutes plus added time. Bayern win another corner …
ShareGOAL! Bayern Munich 1-1 Manchester United (Viggosdottir 81); 4-3 on agg
One corner too many for Manchester United to defend and Bayern, after probing for most of the second half, have their goal. Amani gets on the end of the header initially but Viggosdottir’s glancing touch is what it takes to make the breakthrough.

79 min: José Barcala yet to make a substitution … Tanikawa has a shot blocked by Turner and Bayern win another corner.
78 min: Bayern win a free-kick on the left. Tullis-Joyce makes the claim, not before taking out her own player. Everyone is up on their feet and OK, though.

The home fans are really not happy with the referee Tess Olofsson. They’re hissing and booing, feeling they should have had multiple penalties. It’s getting tense.
73 min: Gwinn creates the space for herself, cuts inside and shoots but Turner falls on the ball. Bayern want a penalty for handball but Turner lifted her arms to really clear the avoidance of doubt. Bayern doing everything right except score.
68 min: Pinball in the penalty area after Tanikawa recieves the ball in the box from Amani. The ball falls to Harder but she can’t control it after a challenge Naalsund, which the referee deems fair.
Updated at 14.15 EDT
66 min: Bayern still enjoying almost all of the possession but they are not doing much with it.
63 min: Awujo wins a foul near the halfway line and that will be her last action of the night as she comes off for Naalsund.
62 min: Another Bayern corner – I have lost count at this point – but Simon’s delivery has too much power on it. United clear.
61 min: Boos ring out as the referee determines that Kett fouls Le Tissier in the United box.
59 min: Tullis-Joyce spills once, twice, three times but somehow Bayern can’t find the back of the net and the United defenders save their keeper’s blushes.
59 min: Close! Tanikawa with a beautiful backheel to find Harder but Le Tissier is stuck to her like glue and Bayern have to settle for a corner.

57 min: Harder receives the ball on the right but her pass is poor and it goes straight out.
57 min: Stanway tries her luck from distance with a low, arrowing shot but it’s wide.
54 min: Harder latches onto a loose ball, rolls Le Tissier and shoots and Tullis-Joyce quickly snaps her feet together and blocks it with her legs. Big save!
Updated at 13.59 EDT
52 min: Another Bayern corner – their fifth of the half – and it is the worst of the lot so far. Miyazawa, who is hardly the tallest player on the pitch, heads it away.
Updated at 13.58 EDT
49 min: Bayern are already flooding far more players forward in this second half. It may be a long night of defending for United. Bayern win another corner by putting the pressure on … Close! Tullis-Joyce punches it away but Gilles is now arguing with the referee. She thinks she has been pushed but the referee waves her away and VAR agrees.
47 min: Stanway pushes on and wins a corner. It has been a quiet night for her so far. Simon takes the corner and it flies off the head of Le Tissier at the near post. Another corner … this time at the far post and Tullis-Joyce punches it away.
46 min: We are back at the Allianz Arena. Can United keep up the intensity with only four outfield players on their bench? Time to find out.

An air of nervousness is creeping into this stadium now as the home fans start to worry about extra time or worse. Manchester United have performed superbly so far. Will they tire in the second half? Almost certainly, after Saturday’s draining loss to Manchester City. But this tie is there for the taking.
