Bayern reign in Juventus brawl

Bayern Munich staged a sensational comeback.

Munich: Bayern Munich staged a sensational comeback, scoring twice in extra time after battling back from two goals down to beat Juventus 4-2 on Wednesday and march into the Champions League last eight with a 6-4 aggregate victory.

Thiago Alcantara drilled in after 108 minutes and Kingsley Coman curled in their fourth goal as Bayern, who needed a 90th-minute equaliser from Thomas Mueller to force extra time, keep up their treble hopes. In another match, hosts Barcelona’s dynamic attacking trio of Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi were too strong for Arsenal as all three scored in a 3-1 victory that sent the Spanish side into the quarterfinals 5-1 on aggregate. Brazil’s Neymar opened the scoring in the first half but Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny equalied. Suarez, however, sent a superb volley in to deflate the Gunners.
