Game from the Allianz Arena proved that the top games always makes the viewer a moment to remember later. If Muller no penalty or Oblak stones poured down the wrong person, the more likely the new Bayern team last smile.
Atletico must stretch their resistance under pressure in the first half of Bayern's terrible. The visitors to only hold 31 minutes, before Alonso opened the scoring on penalties directly. The former Real midfielder kicked the ball hit the foot Jimenez makes changing direction Oblak helpless goalkeeper.
Uruguayan midfielder almost become second sinner when Javi Martínez pulled down within just a few minutes later 16m50. But this time atoning Oblak was shot down by teammates who exactly prevents Muller kicks.
Atletico played not as good as the first leg, but only a rare counterattack the second half Bayern were forced to pay the price. Torres balls to trap Vietnamese Griezmann took you beat Neuer, helping Atletico away goals advantage. This forced the home side to score at least twice, more if you want to go forward.
Bayern is only half the task. Lewandowski increased the lead to 2-1 after a header from close, but that's all that Bayern have been. Allianz Arena home side almost even more if Neuer conceding no victory Torres excellence on penalties at the end of the war.

This is the final game of Pep Guardiola in his capacity to lead Bayern in the Champions League at the Allianz Arena pitch. But his third consecutive time a promise last German team in the semifinals. The third time Guardiola who stood in the way was the hometown club, after Real and Barca. Playground Champions League will be the biggest regret of this military situation at Bayern when he was out of contract and move to Man City from next summer.

In a disappointing day Pep Guardiola, the battle lines of the other witnesses the rise of Diego Simeone. In just three seasons ago, Atletico's Simeone has twice put the final of the Champions League. The important thing about this season is Atletico's second turn has strong candidate is Barca and Bayern. Simeone mental strength that commanded the game from outside the borders makes even a famous person as calm as Guardiola also to react at the end of the match.
In fact Simeone Atletico came close to being eliminated in the second leg. Spanish team failed to hold the initiative in defense and attack like in the first leg. Most of the time half, Atletico suffered their treasure to pressure from Bayern. Griezmann scored phase is the first of a player touches the ball within 16m50 Atletico Bayern attack.
If as in the first leg, Atletico minimize the chance of the second leg Bayern 33 times witnessed Oblak goal of being threatened. Bayern owns 72% of the time controlled the ball and dangerous than when the arrival of Muller and Franck Ribery from the start.
However, after two bitter defeat in the final in 1974 and 2014, seems to dispel bad luck Atletico are third in this. Simeone's side not only possesses a collective discipline play very hard to beat, but there are other prominent individuals as Griezmann or Oblak. Even a veteran like Torres also suddenly become the mainstay in this crucial period. Torres and Simeone, two closely linked with Atletico will have the opportunity to rewrite history on the next 28/5 days in Milan.
