Bayern join Man City, Real and Atletico in Champions League semi-finals after overcoming brave Benfica effort in Lisbon
BENFICA 2-2 BAYERN MUNICH (agg: 2-3) AT ESTADIO DA LUZ: Will it be No 7 be lucky or very awkward? Pep Guardiola has been managing in the Champions League for seven years and, following a professional job in Lisbon, his record of always reaching the semi-finals remains. The assumption made when he became manager of Bayern Munich was that he would conquer Europe once again in the way he did twice with Barcelona but, so far, the last four have brought crushing defeats, one to Real Madrid, the other against his old club. Thanks to goals from Arturo Vidal and Franck Ribery, they are in the last four and the prospect of a union with Manchester City - his future employers - is now on the horizon. What a story it will be if those two names are paired together in Friday's draw.
