Monaco reached the Champions League semi-final after beating Real Madrid 3-1 in an incredible match that meant Didier Deschamps progressed courtesy of the away goals rule after a 5-5 aggregate result.

Monaco launched a stunning second-half comeback to knock out Real Madrid and book a semi-final against Chelsea. Real looked on course when they stretched their aggregate lead to 5-2 with a superb strike from Raul.But Ludivic Giuly's low volley gave Monaco hope before half-time and on-loan Real striker Fernando Morientes made it 2-1 on the night with a header. Giuly's clever backheel put Monaco's fans in dreamland and though Raul twice went close, the French side held on.

This was a big shock,Real had a great lead after the first leg but they blew it.I watched the game and Monaco played well they deserved to go through.
