Ten-man Manchester United crashed out of the Champions League on away goals thanks to Arjen Robben's wonder strike at Old Trafford.
From a seemingly impregnable position, three goals ahead of Bayern Munich on the night and two in front on aggregate, the Red Devils' world collapsed in a six-minute spell either side of the interval.
First-leg match-winner Ivica Olic pulled a goal back immediately before the break after Nani had followed up Darron Gibson's early opener by scoring two of his own.
The goal put doubt in United minds that turned into panic once Rafael had been sent off for a second bookable offence shortly after the restart.
United tried desperately to hang on.

But just as it looked like they might manage it, Robben escaped to the far post and rocketed a volley beyond Edwin van der Sar after fellow winger Franck Ribery had dropped a perfect corner into his path.
It was a gut-wrenching climax, that leaves the Premier League without a semi-final representative for the first time since 2003 and United shattered after the biggest week of their season ended in total misery, with only an outside chance of the title to cling to and a dressing room of shattered bodies, physically and mentally, to revive.

Meanwhile, Lyon reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in club history with victory over Ligue 1 rivals Bordeaux.
Les Gones can thank goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for a dramatic late save.
With Lyon losing 1-0 on the night and clinging to an aggregate lead three minutes from time, Lloris leaped across goal to beat clear Wendel's goalbound bullet header.
Marouane Chamakh's first-half goal ultimately counted for nothing as Lyon's first-leg advantage held up through a tense second half.
It was no less than they deserved as, save for a spell late in the first half, they were the more composed team on the night.
