Late goals from Luis Díaz and Michael Olise meant Bayern Munich finally got the better of Real Madrid in another enthralling game on Wednesday to edge into the Champions League semi-finals alongside Arsenal, who knocked out Sporting.
Real's Arda Güler scored twice but Bayern won 6-4 on aggregate in the quarter-final after a 4-3 second-leg victory in Munich which will live long in the memory. They face holders Paris Saint-Germain in the last four in late April and early May.
A terrible first-minute kick-out by Manuel Neuer, who was superb in a thrilling first leg, allowed Real's Güler to fire into an empty net from 25 metres for his maiden Champions League goal.
It was a quick and sudden blow for six-times champions Bayern, who had dominated for long spells while winning 2-1 in the Spanish capital last week.
But the hosts soon levelled to lead the tie again, Real keeper Andriy Lunin this time at fault as Aleksandar Pavlović headed in a corner while stood on the line.
Güler then bent in a free-kick just before the half hour mark, with Neuer arguably exposed again before Harry Kane scored with aplomb to put Bayern back ahead.
Kylian Mbappé netted his 15th of the Champions League season from Vinícius Júnior's slick pass before the break to leave the game poised for extra-time. Bayern appealed for a foul early in the build-up, but were waved away.
The drama slowed slightly in the second half but a second booking for Real substitute Eduardo Camavinga late in the half boosted the Allianz Arena.
Colombia's Díaz then struck on 89 minutes and Olise in stoppage time as Bayern ended a run of four defeats in a row against the 15th-times record champions in knock-out ties in the elite European event.
Arsenal will meet Atlético Madrid in the semi-finals after a 0-0 home draw with Sporting sealed a 1-0 aggregate victory.
