Champions League Bayern Munich 2 Real Madrid 1 Agg: 4-4 Bayern win on away goals ruleBayern Munich took their place in the quarter-finals thanks in part to the quickest goal in the tournament's history.

Roy Makaay put Bayern ahead with just 10 seconds on the clock at the Allianz Arena.

The dominant home side failed to take an array of gilt-edged chances, which forced them to sweat until Lucio struck midway through the second half.

Mark van Bommel and Mahamadou Diarra were dismissed before Ruud van Nistelrooy converted an 82nd-minute penalty, but it was only a consolation.

Real rarely posed a threat and coach Fabio Capello could yet pay the price for his side's exit from a competition they have won a record nine times.

It was a lightning quick start for Bayern as Makaay struck after 10 seconds to level the match on aggregate. Roberto Carlos failed to control a pass back from the kick-off and Hasan Salihamidzic raced forward.

The Bosnian fed Makaay who swept past Iker Casillas into the far corner from 15 yards.

With eight minutes left referee Lubos Michel awarded a controversial penalty when Robinho tumbled. Before Van Nistelrooy could take the spot-kick, though, Diarra and Van Bommel were shown second yellow cards as they jostled on the edge of the area.Van Nistelrooy converted to set up a nail-biting conclusion
