Bayern 4-2 Juventus (aet; agg: 6-4)
After Thomas Müller forced extra time, substitutes Thiago Alcántara and Kingsley Coman capped a remarkable Bayern comeback in the round of 16.
Two goals in three extra-time minutes from substitutes Thiago Alcántara and Kingsley Coman decided a roller-coaster UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie in Bayern München's favour, as an initially excellent Juventus display foundered amid a dramatic finale to an already see-saw encounter.
In a direct reversal of the Turin first leg, and at a ground where Bayern had won their preceding nine UEFA Champions League home matches, Juve led 2-0 through Paul Pogba and Juan Cuadrado's first-half goals only to be pegged back just short of the final whistle.
For all Bayern's possession football, the hosts were revived by headers from crosses – Robert Lewandowski's 73rd-minute conversion of a Douglas Costa centre, followed by Thomas Müller nodding in Coman's wicked 91st-minute delivery.
Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal (agg: 5-1)
Neymar, Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi were all on target as the holders reached the last eight for the ninth season running.It was a familiar story at the Camp Nou as Barcelona eased through to a ninth successive UEFA Champions League quarter-final and Arsenal, impressive at times, bowed out in the last 16 yet again.
Neymar's early goal all but ended the tie as a contest, and though Mohamed Elneny's fabulous strike earned Arsenal parity of the night, Barcelona had the last word. First Luis Suárez made it 2-1 in outrageous fashion before Lionel Messi chipped in to complete a 5-1 aggregate win.
Below is list of the last eight teams. The quarterfinal draw will be held on Friday. Congrats to all teams who made it this far.
