Georgia Stanway described joining Bayern Munich as the best decision of her life.

Bayern beat Manchester United 2-1 on Wednesday to seal a 5-3 aggregate victory in the Women's Champions League quarter-finals.

The German giants have now reached the last four of the competition on three occasions, having previously done so in 2018-19 and 2020-21.

Stanway joined Bayern from Manchester City in 2022, and though the England international is leaving the club at the end of the campaign, she has no regrets over her choice.

"It's emotional. I have absolutely loved my time here," Stanway told Disney+.

"I think it's been the best decision of my life [and] my career. Moments like this I'll never forget and I think Bayern deserve moments like this."

Stanway had a whopping 115 touches and completed 86 of 98 attempted passes, leading the game in those metrics.

She also won six of eight duels and successfully completed three dribbles.

Bayern were second best in the first half as they fell behind to Melvine Malard's strike, but quickfire goals late on from Glodis Viggosdottir and Linda Dallmann got the job done.

"That's Champions League football. It's just a matter of who puts the ball in the net. It doesn't actually matter who is the better team," Stanway added.

"But we really deserved it. In the away leg, we put up a really good fight but overall we deserve this result.

"Everyone is super important but it's the people who find the pockets. That's where we got the joy today. It's not an individual, it's everybody working as a collective on the rotations and making sure we got in the pocket space."

United, meanwhile, fell short of becoming just the second team to reach the Champions League semi-finals in their maiden season in the competition, after Man City.

"Nobody had us getting out of the group stage," said United boss Marc Skinner.

"From our perspective, we as a club need to design later-stage tournament conversations about squad size, experience. We have to do it. We will learn from it.

"The one disappointment I have from this is if we had our freshness and our fit players we could have gone toe-to-toe with them and really changed the second half.

"I'll never know but what I've said to the team is we have three games left in the league and if you win those three games you can experience the Champions League again next year. That's on us to be able to do that."
