Real Madrid survived a second-half onslaught from Galatasaray in their
Champions League quarter-final to reach the last four for a record 24th
time.
Cristiano Ronaldo silenced the Turkish crowd with an
early volley and Galatasaray rarely threatened until Emmanuel Eboue's
thumping strike.
Wesley Sneijder steered in and Didier Drogba's backheel left Real rocking, before Ronaldo killed their hopes.
Real substitute Alvaro Arbeloa was sent off following two late bookings.
Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Malaga.
Borussia Dortmund scored twice in injury time to snatch a dramatic
Champions League victory over Malaga and secure a place in the
semi-finals.
After a goalless first leg in Spain, Joaquin scored from 20 yards for Malaga before Robert Lewandowski equalised. Substitute Eliseu looked to have scored Malaga's winner before the late goals.
Juventus 0-2 Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich reached their third Champions League semi-final in four years after knocking out Juventus.
Leading 2-0 from the first leg, the Germans were again
comfortable as Mario Mandzukic headed in Bastian Schweinsteiger's
free-kick before Claudio Pizarro slotted in late on.
Arjen Robben also hit the post as Bayern created the best chances.
Juve were restricted to Andrea Pirlo's saved free-kick and Fabio Quagliarella's shot which hit the post.
The scoreline mirrored the first leg in Munich, and there was again a gulf in class between the two teams who are top of their respective domestic leagues.
Barcelona 1-1 PSG.
Lionel Messi came off the bench to kick-start a Barcelona fightback as
the four-time winners reached the Champions League semi-finals on away
goals.
Javier Pastore's clipped finish put Paris St-Germain ahead for the first time in the tie, 3-2 on aggregate.
But Messi, who suffered a hamstring strain in the first leg, inspired Barca and was involved as Pedro hammered home from 15 yards.
Andres Iniesta almost added a second for the hosts after a sublime turn.
PSG manager Carlo Ancelotti ushered David Beckham off the bench in the closing stages, but the former England captain could not replicate Messi's impact on the game as the visitors struggled to force their way back onto the front foot.
