FLORENCE, Italy Reuters) - Bayern Munich reached the Champions League quarter-finals on away goals on Tuesday despite a 3-2 defeat at Fiorentina in a thrilling last 16 second leg tie.

Dutchman Arjen Robben found the net from 25-metres out with a wind-assisted shot in the 65th minute to make the aggregate score 4-4 after the German side won the first leg 2-1.

Fiorentina's Juan Manuel Vargas took advantage of a Hans-Joerg Butt fumble for the opener in the 28th minute and Stevan Jovetic made it 2-0 for the hosts in the 54th before the home crowd went on an emotional roller coaster ride ending in disappointment.

Mark van Bommel levelled the tie in the 60th before Jovetic bagged his second, only for Robben to decide the tie with his splendid strike just 72 second later.
