Bayern Munich scores twice in 2 minutes to end Juventus' Champions League adventure
Game over.
As the second leg of the tie between Bayern Munich and Juventus entered second-half stoppage time, it appeared the Old Lady might, against all odds, bounce the Bavarian club from European football's most prestigious club competition.
Then, Bayern did what Bayern does and, with zero regard for the Juventus supporters who travelled more than 600 kilometres to the Allianz Arena, ripped the Old Lady's heart right out of her chest in a matter of minutes.

After Thomas Muller forced extra time with a last-gasp header, Bayern took advantage of a demoralised and gassed Juventus side.
First came a composed finish from Thiago Alcantara in the 108th minute.
Then, one minute later, after referee Eriksson failed to react to an apparent foul from Joshua Kimmich on Paul Pogba, Bayern collected possession, resulting in Kingsley Coman, formerly of Juventus, running from one end of the pitch to the other to put the final nail in the Bianconeri's coffin.
Rest in peace, Old Lady.
