Galatasary versus Madrid: Wesley Sneijder
Maybe it is looking like a comeback as Wesley Sneijder reduces the deficit further. He takes a lovely touch to steal between Varane and Pepe from a diagonal pass from the right to his inside-left position then, with his second touch, slotted a 16-yard shot past Lopez Photograph: Tolga Bozoglu/EPA
Galatasary versus Madrid: Didier Drogba celebrates
It's definitely looking like a comeback!! Just minutes later Sabri, who has been outstanding as an outside right, slips a cross to Drogba who stands up to Varane's challenge and backheels it past Lopez Photograph: Thanassis Stavrakis/AP

Galatasary versus Madrid: Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo
Higuain needn't have worried. As during injury time his Portuguese team-mate got his, and Real's, second when he blasts the ball home from the edge of the box after receiving a cut back from Benzema. That's 11 goals in this season's European Cup for him. Final score: Galatasaray 3-2 Real Madrid (aggregate 3-5) Photograph: Javier Soriano/AFP/Getty Images

Dortmund v Malaga: Joaquín scores
Twenty-five minutes in and there's a big shock as Málaga take the lead! Baptista's header comes back to him off a defender, and he plays the ball to Isco. He plays it back to Joaquín (though actually it's Felipe Santana who makes most contact with the ball) who takes out a defender by cutting on to his left foot and then has his low shot slightly deflected to take it just inside the near post Photograph: Patrik Stollarz/AFP/Getty Images
Dortmund against Malaga: Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski scores
Just before half-time the home side are level set up by a brilliant assist from Marco Reus, a first-time backheel flick from Mario Götze's pass that sent Robert Lewandowski clear. The striker took the ball past Willy Caballero and then slid the ball into the net. Though it's all square again Málaga have the advantage with their away goal Photograph: Martin Meissner/AP

Dortmund against Malaga: Malaga's Portuguese midfielder Eliseu scores
Until Eliseu runs in and taps in from a yard out. He's expecting an offside flag from either the linesman or the fifth official but one isn't forthcoming so he goes off to celebrate with his team-mates. With just 8 minutes to go and barring some amazing turnaround by the homeside, it looks like it's the Spanish side who'll be in the draw for the semis Photograph: Odd Andersen/AFP/Getty Images
Dortmund against Malaga: Robert Lewandowski leads the Malaga defence on a merry dance

Dortmund against Malaga: Dortmund's striker Marco Reus celebrates
As four minutes of stoppage time starts Borussia Dortmund pull one back. Dortmund have a decent free-fick from deep which finds Subotic free on the far post. He knocks it across to Felipe Santana, two yards in front of an empty net, and though he's tackled the ball rolls to Reus, slams the ball home Photograph: Patrik Stollarz/AFP/Getty Images
Dortmund against Malaga: Felipe Santana gets the winning goal
Just two minutes later the impossible happens - the home side score their third on the night - taking them through to the semi-finals. Incredible! Lewandowski crosses from the left – four Borussia players are offside – and it ping-pongs around a bit before breaking to Santana – offside again – who taps in from a yard Photograph: Alex Grimm/Bongarts/Getty Images

It's no surprise that Felipe Santana is rather overjoyed Photograph: Alex Grimm/Bongarts/Getty Images
