The match, at least in regulation time, was almost a replica of the first leg in Turin, where Bayern dominated and led 2-0 before Juventus struck back with two late goals to salvage a draw.

Substitute Thiago put Bayern ahead in extra time and Coman, on loan at Bayern from Juve, completed a memorable comeback.
“Not so much for the fact we were 2-0 up”, he added.
Juventus director Beppe Marotta complained about the refereeing, specifically Morata’s incorrectly disallowed goal.
“It was an incredible night”, Lahm told reporters after the game.
Juventus loanee Coman provided the assist for Bayern’s equalizer and an extra-time goal to end his parent club’s Champions League hopes, and Allegri acknowledged his display in Munich.
Coman has made a decisive contribution in Bayern’s run to the Champions League quarter-finals with two goals and five assists, and his impact has helped the German side cope with the waning influence of ageing wide men Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery.
“The only team I don’t want to face is Barca, and it’s a certainty that we won’t”, said Enrique after Wednesday’s 3-1 win at the Nou Camp.
If Bayern were aiming to keep it tight and not concede, those plans were blown away in the 5th minute when some confusion in the Bayern defence let Paul Pogba in to score the easiest of goals.
The veteran goalkeeper was an observer as Juve took a 2-0 lead at the Allianz Arena, extending their aggregate advantage to 4-2 as the Bundesliga leaders struggled to respond. “We’ll have to see what comes from the draw”, he said tersely.
“I don’t know how often that has happened in history that a German team has scored four goals against an Italian side”.
“We have learned from the experience of past year against Porto – at this stage everyone is hard”, the Spaniard said. “We are going out with our heads held high”.
“Football results depend on chances”.
For the second straight year, Bayern Munich will be traveling to Portugal in April, drawing defending Liga NOS champions Benfica in the Champions League quarterfinals.

“We just have regrets for the way we started the match and hopefully we’ll learn from it for the quarter-finals”.
