      <title>Bayern Munich edge Real Madrid to reach Champions League semifinals</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bayern Munich scored two late goals to secure a dramatic 4-3 victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday, advancing to the UEFA Champions League semifinals with a 6-4 aggregate win after a thrilling quarterfinal tie.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Luis Diaz struck in the 89th minute before Michael Olise added another in stoppage time, sealing Bayern’s place in the last four, where they will face defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The match began at a frenetic pace, with Real Madrid taking the lead inside the opening minute through Arda Guler following a costly error by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guler added a second later in the half after Bayern had equalised through Aleksandar Pavlovic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Harry Kane brought Bayern level again with his 12th goal of the competition, but Real regained the lead before halftime when Kylian Mbappe finished off a move set up by Vinicius Jr.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The turning point came late in the game when Eduardo Camavinga was sent off in the 86th minute after receiving a second yellow card, allowing Bayern to capitalise with two late goals to complete the comeback.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tempers flared at full-time, with Real Madrid players protesting the red card decision.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guler was also dismissed after confronting the referee, while manager Alvaro Arbeloa criticised the officiating, calling the decision “unbelievable.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kane hailed the victory as a reward for the team’s efforts, saying Bayern had to be at their best to overcome Real Madrid’s pedigree in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the other quarterfinal, Arsenal progressed to the semifinals after a tense 0-0 draw against Sporting Lisbon secured a 1-0 aggregate win at the Emirates Stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite a below-par performance, Mikel Arteta’s side held onto their first-leg advantage to book a last-four clash with Atletico Madrid, who advanced 3-2 on aggregate against Barcelona.&lt;/p&gt;
