Bayern and Barcelona produced excellent results to join Paris St-Germain in the UEFA Youth League semifinals.

Bayern Munich through after Hoffenheim thriller

Bayern Munich kept their hopes of a first UEFA Youth League title alive with a thrilling 5-3 win at Hoffenheim that secured top spot in Group B.

The German champions twice came from behind before goals either side of the break by Arijon Ibrahimovic and Mathys Tel completed the turnaround.

Hoffenheim led twice through Noah Sarenren Bazee but Bayern's superior firepower proved decisive.

Barcelona too strong for Viktoria Plzen

Barcelona made it three wins out of three in Group C with a 3-1 victory against Viktoria Plzen.

The Spanish giants took the lead through Ilias Akhomach and, despite Filip Sadilek equalizing, second-half goals from Lamine Yamal and Angel Alarcon secured the points.

Barcelona, who have won the competition a record three times, will now face Inter Milan in the semifinals, while Bayern will play Paris St-Germain.
