UEFA Youth League: Barcelona and Bayern Munich reach semi-finals

Barcelona and Bayern Munich have reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Youth League after overcoming tough challenges in the quarter-finals.

Barcelona secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Napoli on Tuesday, while Bayern Munich defeated Salzburg 4-3 in a thrilling encounter on Wednesday.

Barcelona, the current holders of the trophy, controlled the match against Napoli but found it difficult to break down the Italian side's well-organized defense.

It wasn't until the 75th minute that Barcelona finally found a breakthrough, with Lamine Yamal scoring the only goal of the game.

Bayern Munich's victory over Salzburg was much more dramatic. The German side took an early lead but found themselves 3-1 down in the second half.

Bayern Munich fought back with three goals in the final 20 minutes, including a 90th-minute winner from Paul Wanner, to secure a thrilling victory.

Barcelona will now face Inter Milan in the semi-finals, while Bayern Munich will take on Benfica.

The semi-finals and final of the UEFA Youth League will be played in Nyon, Switzerland, from April 24-27.
