Bayern Munich overturned a two-goal deficit for the first time in a Champions League tie as their emphatic 6-1 victory over Porto at the Allianz Arena sealed their progress to the semi-finals 7-4 on aggregate.
Trailing 3-1 from the first leg, five goals in 26 first-half minutes firmly shifted the tie in favour of the Bundesliga side, as strikes from Thiago Alcantara, Jerome Boateng, two from Robert
Lewandowski and Thomas Muller's deflected effort equalled Porto's tally before surpassing it.
Jackson Martinez reduced the arrears on 73 minutes, and missed a glorious chance to set up what would have been a grandstand finish, before their chances were dashed when Ivan Marcano picked up a second yellow card and Porto ended the game with ten men.
Xabi Alonso ensured Bayern would have the last word as heconverted the resulting free kick two minutes from time, as the 2013 champions booked a sixth consecutive semi final appearance in Europe's elite club competition.

Neymar bagged a first-half brace as Barcelona beat Paris St- Germain 2-0 at the Nou Camp to ease into the Champions League semi finals with a 5-1 aggregate victory.
Heading into the game with a 3-1 lead, the hosts never looked in danger of relinquishing their healthy advantage as Paris Saint- Germain struggled to cope with Barcelona's pacey passing style.
The match was Luis Enrique's 50th in charge and he is now just two games away from leading Barcelona to their first Champions
League final since 2011.
Andres Iniesta, who has won this competition three times with Barca, was up for the challenge from the first whistle, dominating
the ball and spearheading most of the home side's early attacks.
It was no surprise when they took the lead on 14 minutes with the Spanish international providing the magic.
He picked the ball up deep inside his own half and danced his past two PSG tackles, making 50 yards in the process, before finding Neymar with a perfectly weighted through ball. The striker skipped past Salvatore Sirigu in the PSG goal and tapped the ball into the empty net.

Tiwa savage's hubby, Teebillz earlier today criticised and called out Ghanaian actress, Joselyn Dumas on Instagram pointing out that her and her new management, 'Restless Talent' lacked the basic understanding of Branding.
The Joselyn Dumas camp has since responded to this 'hilarious claims and accusations made by Teebillz and has made attempts to clarify the allegations.
The TV star's management said TeeBillz was unknown to them before now and they were shocked with his post.
A representative of Restless Management, Inya Lawal, who handles Joselyn Dumas's project said: "Last week, we noticed that photos of Joselyn were altered and being used to promote a song by TeeBillz.
Those photos were used without permission, we didn't know about it, so we contacted him, wrote him officially to take it down.
"He had no intentions of taking the photos down until we contacted him. So we said to him, write us properly to ask for permission to use those photos and then send us the song so we know what the song says because he said his artiste was inspired by Joselyn.
"So we were waiting to hear a song of inspiration, but when he sent the song, the lyrics of the song was basically Joselyn's body and how he'll give her money and she'll give him her body, so we said to him that we can't associate our brand with those kind of useless and silly lyrics. So we said to him, we are sorry, we can't do that and he apologised.
"It's also our style to announce any new deal we sign one month after the deal. We signed Joselyn one month ago and we just announced it this week, it's the same thing we've done for others like OC Ukeje, Nse Ikpe Etim and others, so I really don't understand what he's talking about when he said he'll teach us about branding. We never even knew who he was until this whole thing happened."

Sometimes yesterday, Double Wahala crooner, Oritsefemi's Instagram account got hacked and unfortunately for him, private chats were uploaded which reveals several flirty chats with numerous girls (as seen above).

The singer would later take to Social media earlier today to reveal the identity of who leaked his account and everyone was shocked when he uploaded a picture of his baby mama accusing her of being the perpetrator. 

Oritsefemi's Baby Mama has however denied the accusation of being guilty of hacking into her "fiancée's" Instagram account.
Taking to instagram to defend her innocence in a very emotional post after Femi posted her picture as the hacker this morning, she accused the 'Double wahala' crooner of dragging her name in the mud, adding that they had always learnt how to settle their indifferences privately.
Here are her words;
"My attention was called to a post on instagram this morning by some friends. My fiancée of five years put me on the blast and accused me of hacking his IG page, this is really surprising to me as i wasn't around him when his phone got hacked or in Lagos, neither do i have the password to his IG account. How i could have hacked a personal phone that I don't own beat me. I will never betray you like this Femi, I have always resolved to settling our issues in private no matter how bad it is. I can understand if you want to end the relationship and move on with your life, I'd accept that as the will of God but you don't need to disgrace me publicly and drag my name to the mud all because of fame.
We suffer together and i was there before your claim to fame and still stood by you when God started blessing you because i know you truely deserve to be rewarded for all your year of hustling and hardwork. I am writing this openly and demand you delete that post and show respect to me and the years we spent together which is now a bad memory for me. How can you be so heartless and cruel. When you called to say you googled to know who hacked your IG page and my name was mentioned i laughed thinking that it's was one of your pranks. I deserve some respect, the same one have shown you all these years. You bring me down and make me look like the villain while you become the hero. You should be ashamed of yourself for betraying my trust and love but instead you turned this around and put me on the blast so the world can overlook your shortcoming and focus on me. God sees it all"

King of Comedy, Ali Baba got a verbal spanking from former CNN reporter and award winning journalist Femi Oke for his tweet about the rescue of the Chibok Girls.

Femi Oke retweeted Ali Baba's opinion adding her own words "cruel comedy."
She also tweeted at the comedian saying "You make an obvious observation @ALIBABAGCFR, but how insensitive to find the hope of others regarding the #ChibokGirls amusing."

Hours after two groups protested in its Abuja and Benin offices against the violent killing of foreigners in its home country, South Africa, MTN Nigeria on Monday warned that should there be attacks on its facilities, it might be forced to close shop.
And 99 per cent of its over 6,000 workforce in the country, who are Nigerians, would be thrown into the labour market.
According to the Corporate Service Executive, MTN Nigeria, Mr. Wale Goodluck, there are only 12 expatriates working for the company in the country, compared to a workforce of 6,000 Nigerians.
It also said that calls for the boycott of its services were unjustified as such an action would affect its
support chain, which could cause another 500,000 Nigerians to lose their means of livelihood.
Punch reports that Goodluck said:
"So, if people go ahead with their threats to attack our facilities, what that means is that we may be forced to close down the business in Nigeria and about 6,000 Nigerians that make up 99 per cent of our workforce will be unemployed.

We need to create a world that is equitable, that is stable and a world where we bear the feelings of others.
As much as i condemn the racial discrimination happening in South Africa or better still let me use the world xhenophobia attack , it should be noted that Nigeria is also facing discrimination.
Any Nigerian in any state of the country should  not be subject to any form of ethnic discrimination, including the form of marrying from another tribe in the country.
Many Nigerians are feeling bad about what South Africans are  doing to our citizens, this is also how people feel when we isolate them with our anti tribal way and comments. In Lagos for example, you will  hear yoruba refering to the Igbo's as omo igbo ,while the igbo also say edo eat human beings, on the other hand full lagosians like the Eguns are always subject of abuse, Some Nigerians parent will tell there daughters not to marry from a tribe, they will go as far as saying this tribe are not good, this tribe do eat humans, i wonder when love start selecting tribe? is this discrimination? definitely yes.
It will indeed be appreciated if we stop complaining about what south africans are doing, although it is very bad and will be sorted out before his weeks run out, developed countries find solution to things easily but in my dear country Nigeria we are not brothers and sisters, we also have issues of killings and all that, lets find a lasting  solution to our own persistent issues.
The day we learn to appreciate each other in Nigeria and do away with tribal , ethnic and religious difference, that is when we will be better of in life.
It is time to put our home in other before condemning other people. Lets say no to racial discrimination, tribal or ethnic abuse in Nigeria, it is time to accept one another as brothers and sisters , families, One Nigeria is all we should crave for, one Africa we remain.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter is adamant Russia can host the best World Cup ever in 2018, despite their political problems.
Russia's annexing of eastern Ukraine last year sparked brutal battles between loyalists and separatists, with major city Donetsk a shell of its former self due to the continuing fighting.
Within the Eurasian nation, laws criminalising homosexuality and the perceived poor treatment of ethnic minorities has attracted
heavy criticism from foreign spectators.
Economic sanctions have been taken by other nations against Russia, but Blatter is refusing to heed calls from some quarters forFifa to strip them of its World Cup hosting rights.
The Swiss football chief met with Russia president Vladimir Putin on Monday and stated ahead of next month's Fifa presidency elections that politics and sport should not mix.
"I am a happy and proud president," Blatter told Tass in host city Sochi, which held the last Winter Olympics. "I am proud that Russia is getting ready to host the World Cup.
The economic situation is not the best but I know it will get better. "The main thing is that the people of Russia are organising this
tournament. The people want this championship to go ahead and I personally feel this."
Controversy at World Cups is far from out of the ordinary. Last year there were mass protests around Brazil over the government spending billions on hosting the tournament despite widespread poverty.

The Senior Special Adviser to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, has said that he stands by his words that the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, is not an electable leader.
Many critics of the All Progressives Congress candidate, including the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, who, in the buildup to the March 28 presidential election, condemned Buhari, had subsequently apologised after he won the election.
But Okupe, on Monday said he would stand by his words that Buhari, who he said had no West African Senior School Certificate, was not eligible to contest for President.
He stated on his official Facebook page, "These are very interesting times in our nation. An election has come and gone. A victor has emerged and the loser has conceded.
"Yet some of our folks are behaving as if we have just gone through a war between two hostile nations. The APC agents all over the place are unrelenting in their tirades of abuses, insults and lies against President Goodluck Jonathan, his aides and supporters.
"It is shameful that we are still saddled with denying falsehood and fabrications in the social media and even by hitherto highly respected newspapers.
"Missing $20bn found in an account in Zenith. PGEJ returns tons of dollars to federation accounts. N2tn spent on elections by PGEJ. Okupe says Chibok girls will not be found. How many lies, deliberate falsehood and evil propaganda, outright curses and attacks must we suffer just because we lost an election in which we were never disgraced?
"Buhari polled 15m (56 per cent) while Jonathan scored 12m (46per cent). Those who talk to us disparagingly should respect the sentiments of the 12m Nigerians who voted for Jonathan.
"Of course, we have our reservations about the results but we will pass on that for now. We have lost this election but this is not and can never be a crime. We are all Nigerians and having lost does not make us less. We should be allowed to bow out peacefully and constitutionally on the 29th of May.
"Yes, I said Buhari was not electable. I also said his victory will not happen. I said and I still insist that Buhari has no WASC certificate. I said a lot of things to promote my candidate and many things to put his opponent down.
"I have no regrets for any of the statements I made. Lai Mohammed said worse. This is the nature of politics. For anyone who cares to listen. We will be back, period."

Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini, has appealed for calm after recent violence against migrants in South Africa, the BBC reports.‎
He has been accused of fuelling the attacks, which have killed at least seven people, after saying foreigners should "go back to their countries".
More than 300 people have been arrested in the unrest.
Thousands packed into a stadium in the eastern city of Durban to hear King Zwelithini's address, where he said his comments were distorted by the media.
In King Zwelithini's speech, he said it was not fair to blame the violence on one individual, pointing out that there had been several previous outbreaks of xenophobic violence in South Africa.
He added that the South African Human Rights Commission should investigate the hate speech charges against him without hindrance.
Among the latest arrests were three men detained in connection with the murder of a Mozambican national in Alexandra, a township in Johannesburg.

Tragedy struck, weekend, at the sleepy rural Umuagbadagwo, Ikwuano Obodoukwu, Ideato North Local Government Area, following the reported killing of Mrs Emilia Ebedo by her husband over alleged infidelity and extravagance on the part of the man.
It was not clear at press time what the husband, 50, allegedly used on the woman, but it was gathered that the businesswoman bled profusely and was eventually pronounced dead in a hospital in the area.
Some sympathizers were also overheard saying the six-year-old marriage between the deceased and her husband never knew peace.
The sympathizers claimed that following alleged sexual escapades of her husband, Emilia denied her husband sex over fears of contracting sexually-transmitted diseases.
A woman, who sought anonymity, confirmed that the deceased decided to starve her husband of sex until he submitted himself for a thorough medical check.
Another reason proffered by the women was that the deceased was cautious about giving money to her husband, who she allegedly accused of being very extravagant.
It was also gathered that the position of the deceased on the two issues did not go down well with her husband.
Another villager claimed that the deceased single-handedly built the house they were living in, even as he wondered why the quarrel should degenerate to the point of spilling blood.
Although the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, could not be reached before press time, a policeman in Ideato North Divisional Police Headquarters, however, confirmed that the suspect was cooling his heels in their custody.
He said: "The suspect is cooling his heels in our custody. Police have commenced investigation into the incident and if the man is found culpable, he would be made to face the full weight of the law."

Suspected Fulani mercenaries, in the early hours of Monday, attacked some villages in the Donga Local Government Area of Taraba State and killed 15 persons. Many, reports said, were still missing.‎
Following the Monday attack there was massive movement of people from Donga Local Government, which is one of the areas in the state where run-off election was billed to hold next Saturday.
Residents said the assailants first attacked and burnt Ayiase village in Takum Local Government before heading for Tse-Gbaun and Gaza villages in Donga.
One eyewitness told our correspondent that the gunmen killed one Msugh Gaza and three of his sons in Gaza Village, while the three other victims were killed in Tse-Gbaun and Ayiase villages.
The eyewitness said, "The attack happened in the early hours of today (Monday), and the area is not safe as I talk to you, and as such we cannot search for the other missing persons. But we have, so far, recovered seven dead bodies."
The Police spokesman in the state, Joseph Kwaji, said efforts to reach the DPO of Donga for details of the attacks were unsuccessful as his mobile phone was switched off.
However, an aide of the acting Governor of the state, Alhaji Sani Danladi, said his boss had directed that military personnel be deployed in the area to maintain peace and order.
