Bayern Munich made light work of a 3-1 first-leg deficit as they battered Porto 6-1 to sail into the last four of the Champions League with a 7-4 margin on aggregate.
Bayern’s first five goals came in a dazzling 28 minute first-half spell that killed off Porto’s hopes and put the German champions in total control of the tie.
Thiago Alcantara opened the scoring after 14 minutes with a close-range header after Juan Bernat’s outstanding cross before Jerome Boateng nodded in to put the home side ahead on away goals.
Robert Lewandowski made it three just five minutes later after heading in a sensational volleyed assist from Mueller, before the German forward got on the scoresheet with a deflected strike from 25 yards.
Lewandowski added the fifth with a low drilled shot across goalkeeper Fabiano to end any doubts just before half-time, leaving the sides to play out an almost meaningless second period.
Porto striker Jackson Martinez did pull one back with 17 minutes to go, nodding into an empty net, but a late red card for Mercano and Xabi Alonso’s goal from the resulting freekick wrapped up a hugely dominant win for Pep Guardiola’s side.
