Bastian Schweinsteiger sent his penalty kick slicing straight down the middle, and then ripped off his shirt with a roar of triumph.

No way Bayern Munich was going to miss the big party at its own house.

Bayern Munich became the first team to advance to a Champions League final it is hosting Wednesday night, beating Real Madrid 3-1 on penalty kicks when Schweinsteiger converted the final shot after Sergio Ramos skied his over the crossbar in what seemed like the worse PK ever!

Go wild Bayern and its fans did, staying on the field long after Madrid coach Jose Mourinho — who watched the shootout from his knees — descended into the tunnel. Madrid's players left the field with their heads hanging low, and some were in tears after coming so close to reaching their first final in 10 years.

"It's a big blow for us. It was a very exciting game, but penalties are always a lottery," Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas said. "We played well, but Bayern are a great team."
