QF, Second Leg: Bayern Munich 0-2 AC Milan [AGG: 2-4]
Experience told as clinical Milan scored twice in the space of four first-half minutes to claim an impressive 4-2 aggregate victory over Bayern Munich, and a semi-final against Manchester United. Daniel Van Buyten's late equaliser at the San Siro had swung the initiative in Bayern's direction and the Bundesliga giants started where they had left off. However, with more than 600 Champions League appearances between them, Milan were unfazed, kept their shape and then pounced midway through the opening period. Clarence Seedorf broke the deadlock on 27 minutes and Filippo Inzaghi quickly added a second. Bayern may have made a habit of comebacks this campaign but tonight's was a deficit too far.
