GOAL! Bayern Munich 5-1 Porto (Martinez 73); agg 6-4
Bayern fall asleep. Ricardo slides the ball down the right wing for Evandro, who whips a cross into the middle for Martinez. The striker’s a yard offside, but the flag doesn’t go up, and he stoops to head into an empty net, Neuer stranded by the right-hand post.Porto don’t bother celebrating. But they have a smidgen of hope now. Two goals would do it!

GOAL! Bayern Munich 5-0 Porto (Lewandowski 40); agg 6-3
A corner for Bayern down the left. It’s only half cleared by Porto, and Lahm is soon causing bother down the other wing. He shuttles the ball inside to Muller, who could go down looking for a penalty, Marcano all over his back. But instead he busts for the byline and pulls the ball back for Lewandowski. The striker, 12 yards out, takes a touch to the right, then hammers a low shot into the bottom left. This is an astonishing performance by Bayern, though Porto have been appalling, second to just about every single ball.

THIS IS BECOMING A ROUT. Bayern Munich 4-0 Porto (Muller 36); agg 5-3
Muller, 25 yards out down the inside-right channel, sends a weak-ish daisycutter goalwards. The ball takes a defection off Martins Indi, and spins towards the bottom-right corner. Fabiano should have it, but he’s dived too early, and is ahead of the ball. His legs should come to the rescue, but the wildly spinning ball goes between them! Muller could hit that shot 999,999 more times and it wouldn’t go in. When it’s your evening, it’s your evening.

WHAT A GOAL THIS IS!!! Bayern Munich 3-0 Porto (Lewandowski 27); agg 4-3
This is a world-class goal. Lahm romps after a long ball down the right. He whips it back inside for Muller, who level with the right-hand post, 12 yards out, volleys a pitching-wedge of a pass inside for Lewandowski. The big striker rises and guides a peach of a header into the top-right corner. That unfolded so beautifully, with a real sense of destiny. As pretty as football gets. What a start this has been by Bayern Munich. Porto are stunned.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 2-0 Porto (Boateng 22); agg 3-3
Bayern couldn’t have started this game any better. A corner down the right is pumped into the mixer. Badstuber rises on penalty spot and wins a header, the ball squirting to his right, where Boateng rises and guides a header into the bottom right. Fabiano, scrambling back, can’t gather. And as things stand, Bayern are going through on away goals!

GOAL! Bayern Munich 1-0 Porto (Thiago 14); agg 2-3
This had been coming, and was brilliantly simple. Gotze chases a ball down the left wing, and pulls it back for Bernat, who scoots past him to the byline, then whips a cross to the near post, where Thiago can’t miss with his header. That was a peach of a cross from Bernat! Bayern have halved the deficit in double-quick time.
