Robert Lewandowsk­i scored twice and Bayern Munich overcame a two-goal deficit from the first leg to defeat visiting Porto, 6-1, and reach the UEFA Champions League semifinals for the fourth consecutiv­e year.

Thiago Alcantara, Jerome Boateng, Thomas Mueller and Xabi Alonso also got goals for fivetime champion Bayern, which advanced on 7-4 aggregate in the home-and-home, total-goals series.

In Tuesday’s other match, Neymar scored in the 14th and 34 minutes, and Barcelona beat visiting Paris Saint-Germain, 2-0, for a 5-1 aggregate win. Barcelona, a four-time champion, is in the semifinals for the seventh time in eight seasons.

The Baltimore Ravens reached a four-year, $48million contract extension with cornerback Jimmy Smith that includes $21 million guaranteed.

The total length of the deal is five years, with four years added to the year remaining on his rookie contract.

Smith finished last season on injured reserve because of a Lisfranc injury to his left foot.

A spokesman for Ron Turcotte said the jockey who rode Secretaria­t to the 1973 Triple Crown has been released from the hospital and is recovering, six weeks after breaking his legs in a one-vehicle crash near his home in Grand Falls, Canada.
