Man-u Vs Bayern: Uefa Champions League,results

BAYERN MUNICH produced a forceful come back to bang 10-man Manchester United out of Europe's Champions League and enters into semifinal against Lyon. Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, United raced into a 3-0 lead, but goals from Ivica Olic and Arjen Robben saw Bayern advancement on the away goals rule as the tie finished 4-4 on aggregate.

English Premier League champions Manchester United were in charge until the sending-off of Rafael Da Silva untimely in the second half handed Bayern the initiative and Robben's stunning volley was worthy of winning any match.

United manager Alex Ferguson sprung a shock before kick-off by naming Wayne Rooney in his starting line-up just eight days after the England striker twisted his ankle during the first leg.

Rooney landed uncomfortably on the same ankle after 20 minutes and seemed to struggle for rhythm before he was replaced after 55 minutes. It was one of Ferguson's other surprise inclusions who opened the scoring. Darron Gibson, selected ahead of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, picked up Rooney's pass and fired a shot past the unsighted Bayern goalkeeper Hans-Jorg Butt.

Bayern were given a chance before half-time when Croatian striker Olic shrugged off Michael Carrick and fired past Van der Sar from a narrow angle. United were abridged to 10 men early in the second half when Rafael received a second yellow card for a foul on Franck Ribery.

Nani and Darren Fletcher both went close for United before Van der Sar produced a fine spontaneous effect save to keep out Ribery's effort. United seemed content to soak up Bayern pressure but their resistance was broken down by a moment of individual intensity from Robben.

Ribery's corner selected out the former Chelsea winger on the edge of the area and his volley arrowed past Van Der Sar and into the bottom corner.

Ferguson threw on Dimitar Berbatov and Ryan Giggs in pursuit of a champion but Bayern kept control with ease to see out a victory that went some way to avenging their defeat to United in the 1999 final.

But striker Marouane Chamakh gave Laurent Blanc's side hope when he bundled home on the stroke of half-time.Bordeaux pressed for a goal that would have taken them through, and Lyon were grateful to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who produced a one-handed save to keep out Wendel's header.

The home side held on for a 1-0 defeat that saw them progress 3-2 on aggregate.
