Watch: Bayern's big win reimagined by 442oons

Vincent Kompany on Bayern's quarter-final triumph

"It was a very emotional game. We had a lot of possession and always felt we could score. But Real Madrid remain Real Madrid. They have very quick players and are always a threat. The boys were mentally strong today to recover from setbacks. The fans helped us as well. We stayed calm and always felt that our moment would come. The boys deserved this win".

Kimmich on facing PSG

"The two best teams in Europe will face each other. We had many top-level games against Paris in recent years. I'm looking forward to it".

Joshua Kimmich on an intense battle with Real Madrid

"We knew that both teams can hurt each other. Bayern with the high pressing, Real Madrid through quick transitions. We got off to a bad start, and then conceded again through a free-kick and a counter. The first half was hectic. The second half was calmer, we had more control - and then managed to win it in the end."

Up next: Paris Saint-Germain

Bayern will face Luis Enrique's PSG in the next round, after the holders beat Liverpool 4-0 on aggregate in their quarter-final. Former Borussia Dortmund star Ousmane Dembélé scored both goals in their 2-0 second-leg win over the Reds and will be out to haunt his former rivals Bayern in the semis.

Full-time: Bayern Munich 4-3 Real Madrid

A Champions League classic comes to an end, with Bayern winning 4-3 on the night and 6-4 on aggregate to book their place in the semi-finals. With the game still level in the closing stages, an outstanding strike from Luis Díaz rescued the hosts from an extra-time tussle with Los Blancos. An equally brilliant final goal from Olise wrapped up the win, concluding a chaotic quarter-final bout.

Tough ask

Can Los Blancos pull off a famous comeback away from home tonight, or will Bayern stand firm?

Top two do battle

Only Real Madrid (17) have more quarter-final triumphs than opponents Bayern (13) in this competition, but the hosts will look to seal the deal and edge one victory closer to that record tonight.

Kane to continue climbing scoring charts?

The England captain has already bagged 11 goals in the competition, the most any English player has ever managed. If he were to score again tonight, he'd also become just the second Englishman to score in five consecutive games in the competition after Steven Gerrard.

Fortress Allianz

Bayern have lost just one of their last 28 home games in the Champions League, adding to an already difficult task for the visiting Real.

History in sight for Musiala

If Jamal Musiala were to appear in tonight's clash, he would become the youngest German player to reach 50 Champions League appearances, overtaking former teammate Thomas Müller in the rankings.

Bayern's first-leg enough?

The Bavarians have lost just once in 22 games when they've taken a first-leg lead into the second-leg of a Champions League knock-out stage.

Stats can't keep up with free-scoring Bayern

The hosts come into this fixture in red-hot domestic form, having beaten a longstanding Bundesliga record by scoring 105 single-season goals after 29 matches.

Making noise in Munich

The Real Madrid fans are in fine voice ahead of tonight's clash.

Leon Goretzka is fully aware of tonight's challenge

"We don't need to be warned. We know exactly who we're playing against and what kind of game it is. We saw in the first leg how quickly they can create chances. So nobody needs to warn us. We're aware of that ourselves."

Lahm on Neuer: 'You're facing a grizzly bear'

"He is Mr Unbeatable. From distance, there was really no point in even trying to shoot. As a striker, you’re facing a grizzly bear. At the same time, Manuel is a goalkeeper who does without showmanship and frills. He doesn’t make unnecessary dives, nor does he produce theatrics or spectacular moves just for show. His style was straightforward, in the tradition of Edwin van der Sar. If a ball was saveable, he just saved it in the most efficient way possible."

Philipp Lahm on Manuel Neuer

In his column for The Athletic, former Bayern and Germany star, Lahm, discussed what makes his former teammate so special. "Neuer intimidates strikers - he affects their quality of finishing," he wrote. "Against Neuer, it’s not enough to take an 80 per cent risk with your shot, not even 100 per cent — you have to go for 110 per cent. Accurate or powerful? A striker doesn’t ask himself that question. With Neuer, you need both to score and often to be perfect. And so some shots go wide. Or over. Or too close to him."

Jude Bellingham on Harry Kane

"He's a sensational player and it's a pleasure to play with him with the national team and I think he's amazing. He's shown everyone the last two or three years that he's reached a level where he's almost perfected his craft in terms of what he can do as a striker."

Jude Bellingham on facing Bayern

"Bayern always compete at the highest level. I played here with Dortmund and my memories aren't so positive. A lot of intensity, a great coach - there are many reasons [why they're strong]."

Manuel Neuer on Mbappé & Co.

"It's not about the names, it's about an important Champions League match for us, for the club. We're playing against Real Madrid. I don't care about individual players. Obviously we've analysed them, we have the experience to play the best football as a team. That will be crucial tomorrow. If we function as a team, I'm very optimistic that we can go through to the semi-finals."

Vincent Kompany on the second leg

"We're preparing for the best version of Real, which is what we saw against Manchester City. Their recent results don't reflect the talent they possess. They're still one of the best teams in Europe. But what about the history of Barcelona, Atlético [Madrid], Liverpool, Bayern, Arsenal? Everyone can tell a story of when they did something incredible - so can we. When we lost to Inter and travelled to Milan, we were 100 percent certain we could win. Real feel the same now. But we also know how to hurt them. I firmly believe we can win. We can talk about everything else afterwards, but I'm not giving any space for that before then."

Bayern team news

Vincent Kompany has a relatively light injury list at present, although rising star Lennart Karl joined goalkeepers Sven Ulreich and Leon Klanac on it and missed the win over St. Pauli due to a thigh injury. Serge Gnabry shook off a minor knee issue that also kept him out of the tie in Hamburg on Saturday to resume training on Monday.

Real Madrid team news

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and winger Rodrygo remain injured, while midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni is suspended after picking up a booking in last week's first leg in Madrid. The good news for Real is that former Dortmund star Jude Bellingham made his first La Liga start since January in Friday's draw against Girona.

Müller on Kompany's style

"I played under him for a year and therefore experienced out Vincent Kompany leads the team and how the team reacts to that. It's not only about the technical and tactical side of things - you can see with this team that work hard from the first to the 90th minute. They often outrun their opponents, for example."

More from Müller

"I think are very stable," he said. "Games are always linear - there are ups and downs across 90 minutes - and you need that stability so that when something goes against you, whether it be a bad pass or even a goal, you do not fall out of your match plan. In that respect, I think are Bayern are well-prepared."

Thomas Müller discusses Bayern's chances

Bayern legend Müller, now of Vancouver Whitecaps, has been talking about Bayern's chances in this competition and believes big things are on the horizon. "I think, when you have the chance to progress to the semi-finals at home at the Allianz Arena, things looks good. For Bayern, the whole season has been going well, and you get the feeling the entire team is ready to take the next step. However, they need to take it (the step). This season, Real have not been as strong as in the past, but they have still fantastic individual players. They can always be dangerous and hurt you."

Bayern's steely defence

While Kompany's charges may have only kept two clean sheets, they've only shipped 11 goals in total - the joint second-stingiest backline in the competition, with only Arsenal having conceding fewer (five).

Thirty and counting

This is the teams' 30th meeting in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League – the most in any UEFA club competition. Bayern's victory last week means they have 12 wins to Madrid's 13, while the Spanish giants have scored 46 times in those games, two more than their German opponents.

Madrid held by Girona

Real's La Liga title hopes suffered another setback on Friday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Girona. Leaders Barcelona were able to capitalise 24 hours later, beating Espanyol 4-1 to move nine points clear of Álvaro Arbeloa's side at the top of the table.

Watch: Bayern fans celebrate

Unsurprisingly, Bayern supporters around the world were delighted with their team's performance in the first leg.

Manuel Neuer: "Anything is possible"

Neuer, at the ripe old age of 40, put in a trademark display between the sticks and was named Man of the Match at the Bernabéu. Afterwards, he said, "It's a shame it wasn't 2-0. We know how dangerous Real Madrid are. They also had a few chances and missed some opportunities. That's why we're happy with the win here away. It will still be a tough match in Munich. They have some of the best players in the world; they're incredibly fast, good at dribbling, and have powerful shots – that makes them very difficult to defend against. If we stay close together, it's easier. But in one-on-one situations, when they have space, it's very tough. It's simply a lot of fun playing with the team and the coaching staff. Anything is possible."

Vincent Kompany: "It shows we can achieve a lot"

Bayern head coach Kompany was delighted with his team's first-leg display after the full-time whistle in Madrid, but was eager to look ahead to the second game as well. "Everyone in the dressing room is still very calm; we need to win again to advance. But I want our lads to know they won at the Bernabéu. That's worth something, and we have to take that with us. It shows we can achieve a lot. We have to carry that belief into the next game."

Bayern hold narrow advantage

The first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu ended in a 2-1 victory for Bayern, their first win at the Spanish giants in 90 minutes since 2001. Luis Díaz gave Bayern the lead before Harry Kane put the Bavarians two to the good after the interval, but Kylian Mbappé's close-range finish halved the deficit and keeps Real in the tie ahead of their trip to Munich.
