Key updates to keep you informed:
Wednesday, April 15th
23:08 CET - What a night of action! Bayern and Real Madrid were the standouts, playing out a 4-3 thrill ride that sees Bayern into the semi-finals.
Arsenal are also there, drawing 0-0 in the second leg with Sporting, to see them edge out the Portuguese giants.
That sets up two ties that will certainly provide conflicting styles in the semis.
Swashbuckling sides, Bayern and PSG, will meet in just two weeks in what is likely to be an instant classic, whilst Arsenal will face Atletico Madrid in what could be a tense and tetchy affair from the outset.
We will be back on Tuesday, April 28th to cover the first match live. Before then, stick with us to see how both the Europa League and Conference League quarter-finals go, as well as this weekend's crucial action across Europe.
22:55 CET - GAME OVER! Bayern are going into the semi-finals, as Michael Olise adds the cherry on the cake.
That is the final kick of a pulsating second leg that had pretty much everything. Stunning goals, defensive mishaps and, of course, red card controversy.
It's Bayern who prevail, winning 4-3 in a game that swung back and forth throughout. The Bavarians will take on PSG in what could be another classic for a place in the final.
Take a breath, then read the report.
22:53 CET - All over at the Emirates, and it's been peak Arteta-ball from Arsenal, who have played out a 0-0 draw against Sporting to go through 1-0 on aggregate. They will now face Atletico Madrid in the semis - one for the purists, that.
Read the report from North London now.
22:50 CET - What a goal from Luis Diaz! Does that send Bayern into the semis? In the 89th minute of the game, the Colombian winger sticks one in the top corner from range to make it 3-3 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate.
What do Real Madrid, down to 10, have left?
22:47 CET - Red card for Eduardo Camavinga! The second-half substitute has made two needless challenges in the last few minutes, and has paid the price. Real Madrid will now play the rest of the night down to 10 as we edge to extra time.
22:37 CET - Arsenal are 10 minutes away from their second successive Champions League semi-final as they continue to hold a 1-0 lead over Sporting. The visitors have mustered just one shot on target tonight, but surely they will throw the proverbial kitchen sink at the Gunners with time running out?
22:30 CET - A quarter of the game to go at the Allianz Arena, and it remains 3-2 to Real Madrid on the night, somehow. Both sides have had chances to add to the goal tally since the break, with Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz all missing big chances.
You feel this could go the distance tonight...
22:21 CET - Still goalless at the Emirates, but the young, new hope of the Gunners is on. Max Dowman has replaced Noni Madueke, as Mikel Arteta hopes the teenager can spark his side into life.
22:12 CET - No change in the pace between Bayern and Real Madrid in what is a frenetic, highly-charged affair. At the break, home boss Vincent Kompany opted for more of that pace, bringing on Alphonso Davies for Josip Stanisic after the interval.
21:59 CET - The contrast between tonight's matches couldn't be bigger, with Arsenal and Sporting goalless after a half in which they amassed just 0.37 xG between them.
Sporting remain a goal down in the tie.
21:53 CET - And breathe. A simply incredible first half has ended 3-2 to Real Madrid, which makes the tie 4-4 on aggregate heading into the second half.
45 minutes, 15 shots, five goals. What a match we have on our hands.
21:44 CET - Kylian Mbappe! 3-2! The visitors launch a rapid counter-attack through Vincius Junior, who runs down the left and crosses for a charging Mbappe to tuck home!
21:41 CET - The goals just keep on coming in Munich! Harry Kane has now fired in from inside the box to put his side back ahead of aggregate!
These two titans of Europe have contested some thrillers over the years, and this is already right up there with the best of them.
21:33 CET - Guler does it again! The Turkish sensation has drawn his side level on aggregate with a beauty of a free-kick!
Guler had never scored a Champions League goal before tonight, but now he has two to his name thanks to two strokes of genius and some help from Neuer.
21:23 CET - It's been a remarkable start in Germany, but maybe that shouldn't come as a surprise: Bayern have scored 18 first-half goals in 12 games this Champions League campaign, more than any other side.
Things are much more tame in London, where neither side has had a shot on target yet.
21:09 CET - Another goalkeeping howler and another goal! This one comes at the other end, where Aleksandar Pavlovic has headed in a corner that Andriy Lunin made an absolute mess of trying to claim.
1-1.
21:03 CET - Incredible start in Munich! Just 35 seconds in, Manuel Neuer passes the ball straight to Arda Guler and the Real Madrid takes full advantage to lob the ball in from distance and give his side the lead!
The fastest Champions League goal of the season, and one that has sparked this tie into life.
20:57 CET - Tonight is the first time ever that Real Madrid have started a Champions League match without any Spanish players in their lineup.
20:33 CET - Mikel Arteta has made three changes to the Arsenal lineup from the first leg, with Eberechi Eze replacing the injured Martin Odegaard and Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie coming in for Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori at the back.
Sporting captain Morten Hjulmand returns after missing the first leg through suspension.
20:15 CET - Bayern are unchanged from the side that beat Real Madrid last week, but Alvaro Arbeloa has rolled the dice, with Jude Bellingham, Brahim Diaz, Eder Militao and Ferland Mendy all coming into what looks to be an extremely attacking starting XI for Los Blancos.
18:00 CET - Hello and welcome back to Flashscore's live coverage of this year's Champions League semi-finals!
After PSG and Atletico Madrid saw off Liverpool and Barcelona last night, Bayern Munich and Arsenal are tonight looking to protect their one-goal leads and join them in the final four.
Bayern play host to Real Madrid after beating Los Blancos 2-1 last week, and know that their reward for finishing the job tonight would be a semi-final clash with reigning champions PSG.
Arsenal will face Atleti if they see off Sporting, but with them only 1-0 from the meeting in Lisbon, the tie isn't finished yet.
Wednesday, April 14th
23:02 CET - We have our first two Champions League semi-finalists! Atletico Madrid hung on for a 2-1 win on the night and a 3-2 victory over 10-man Barcelona on aggregate, while PSG coasted to a 2-0 win at Anfield and a 4-0 triumph overall against Liverpool.
Atletico had gone 2-0 down against Barca and were beginning to sweat, but Ademola Lookman's goal proved decisive.
The European champions, meanwhile, were rock solid against Liverpool, and Ousmane Dembele's brace inspired them to an authoritative victory against a struggling side.
Atletico will now face the winner of Arsenal vs Sporting, as PSG await Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.
22:55 CET - Ousmane Dembele has grabbed his second of the night for PSG, putting the reigning champions 4-0 up against Liverpool on aggregate, and that is a comfortable night's work for the French side! He slotted home after some unselfish work from Bradley Barcola.
22:42 CET - Barcelona are down to 10 men, with Eric Garcia being sent off for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity! They are in real trouble now, much like the first leg when Pau Cubarsi was given his marching orders. Atletico Madrid will be confident of finishing the job.
22:36 CET - Ousmane Dembele has surely wrapped the tie up for PSG! The Frenchman has finished excellently from the edge of the box to make it 1-0 on the night, and the European champions now lead Liverpool 3-0 on aggregate! They are heading for the semi-finals.
22:30 CET - Around 25 minutes have gone in the second halves, and there have been no more goals yet. Both Barcelona and Liverpool remain behind on aggregate.
22:09 CET - We are back underway for the second halves at Anfield and the Metropolitano, where we will find out our first two semi-finalists in around 45 minutes (unless it goes to extra time).
21:52 CET - Over at Anfield, there had been less to report as it is still goalless between Liverpool and PSG, meaning the Reds trail 2-0 in the tie as it stands. Unfortunately, Hugo Ekitike had to be stretchered off with a non-contact injury just after the half-hour.
21:50 CET - Well, that’s half-time at time at the Metropolitano, and it’s been a breathless 45 minutes-plus of football.
Barcelona scored twice before the 25th minute to level the tie, then Lookman put Atletico Madrid's noses back in front: they lead the quarter-final 3-2 as it stands. You wouldn't bet against a few more goals in this one - check out the first-half stats below:
21:32 CET - Well, it's all happening in Madrid! Ademola Lookman has reinstated Atleti's lead in the quarter-final. A well-worked counter-attack saw Marcos Llorente break free down the right, and he crossed it expertly for the Nigeria international to tap in. 3-2 in the tie now.
21:25 CET - The comeback is on! Barcelona have scored again, via a neat finish from a tight angle by Ferran Torres, to make it 2-0 on the night and 2-2 in their quarter-final tie against Atletico Madrid!
Can you believe it? Barely 25 minutes on the clock and Atleti's lead is wiped out. Simeone must be fuming, his side have been blown away in the early stages by the rampant Catalans.
21:05 CET - Barcelona have scored early!!! And it just had to be that man (or boy, rather), Lamine Yamal!
The Catalans have burst out of the blocks in Madrid, reducing the deficit to just one, and there is so long left. It's quite literally the perfect start for Hansi Flick's side, who are going all out. They trail Atleti 2-1 on aggregate now.
20:05 CET - Team news is in for the two second legs tonight! After returning to the starting eleven in Barcelona's win at the weekend, Gavi starts again tonight in a midfield two with Pedri.
Both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have named strong sides, and you can take a look at the full lineups below:
The big team news coming from Anfield is that Alexander Isak starts up front for Liverpool for the first time since his return from injury! Isak partners Hugo Ekitike up front in a diamond formation.
Check out the full lineups below:
18:30 CET - Good evening and welcome to a fascinating night of Champions League quarter-final second leg action! Both Barcelona and Liverpool have steep deficits to overturn this evening, but the two European giants are no strangers to turning big European ties around.
Atletico Madrid and PSG, for different reasons, will fancy their chances of progression, and it would take a monumental effort from Barcelona and Liverpool to change the narrative.
Liverpool will hope that confidence from a confidence-boosting win in the Premier League at the weekend and an electric Anfield crowd will help them pull off a remarkable comeback against the European champions.
But Luis Enrique's PSG looked a level above Arne Slot's side in the first leg and appear to be coming into peak form at the business end of the season once again.
As for Barcelona, Hansi Flick's men will look to last season in the Copa Del Rey when they came from 2-0 down after six minutes in the first leg to end up winning the tie 5-4 on aggregate.
They will also hope Lamine Yamal is in the same inspired form he was in the first leg, where the teenage sensation tried just about everything to get his side back into the tie and was in a class of his own at times.
