Champions League : Atletico into Champions League final after defeating Munich 2-1

 Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League final on away goals over Bayern Munich after a 2-1 defeat in Germany on Tuesday for a 2-2 aggregate .

    It was Bayern's third straight semi-final defeat against a Spanish side - following exits against Real Madrid and Barcelona . Goalkeeper Jan Oblak crucially saved a first-half penalty from Thomas Mueller shortly after Xabi Alonso had put Bayern ahead. Atletico's Fernando Torres then also missed from the spot but got away with it after Antoine Griezmann got a vital away goal for them and Robert Lewandowski scored Munich's second.

    Diego Simeone's Atletico went through, having won the first game in Spain 1-0, and even though they were comprehensively outplayed by Bayern for most of the return leg.

    They will now hope to come third time lucky in the Milan final on May 28, after losing the 1974 decider to Bayern and the 2014 finale against crosstown rivals Real Madrid.
