Athletico Madrid edge out clueless Barca as Bayern beat United to qualify for UCL Semi final

This is probably the most uninspiring and lackluster performance Barcelona have played this season as they were dumped out of the Champions league by Athletico Madrid in the second leg clash of the quarter- final.

Koke's early goal was all the Madrid side needed to edge Barcelona in the tie ending on a 2-1 aggregate. It could be recalled that the first leg ended 1-1 at the Camp Nou last week.

Also on the night, European champions Bayern Munich came from behind to claim a 3-1 win over Manchester United to give them a 4-2 aggregate success .

After a goalless first-half, United took the lead in the Allianz Arena when Patrice Evra fired home a wonderful half-volley from the edge of the box.

But Mario Mandzukic headed home from close-range in less than a minute later while Thomas Muller converted from the edge of the six-yard box to put Bayern ahead and Robben finished off in the later minutes.
