Atletico knock Barcelona out as Bayern Defeated Benfica from Champions League


 Bayern Munich secured a fifth consecutive Champions League semi-final appearance by battling past Benfica.
The Portuguese side, trailing 1-0 from the first leg, gave themselves hope when Raul Jimenez headed them in front in the return tie at home.
But Arturo Vidal thumped in a shot and Thomas Muller guided in a close-range effort to put the Germans in front.
Benfica drew level on the night through Talisca’s curled free-kick, but a comeback was beyond them.
Bayern boss Pep Guardiola will join Manchester City this summer and the two clubs could meet in the last four when the draw is made on Friday.

Also, Holders Barcelona suffered a shock Champions League exit as Antoine Griezmann’s double sent Atletico Madrid into the semi-finals.
Barca arrived in Spain’s capital with a 2-1 advantage from the first leg but poor defending allowed unmarked Griezmann to power home Saul’s cross.
Saul headed against the bar as Barca toiled before Griezmann scored a late penalty after Andres Iniesta handled.
Barca were denied a late penalty when Gabi handled inside the area.
The defeat ended Barca’s hopes of a La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey treble.
