Saracens' Marcelo Bosch speaking to BT Sport: "I didn't want to force my kick, because it would not go so well. I just tried to feel as relaxed as I could. My kicking coach tells me to imagine I am on the beach and that is what I did."

Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 live"Saracens rode their luck today. There's a possible 14 Racing points that never made it on the scoreboard. But Saracens stuck in and Racing never got away on the scoreboard."

Clermont were in the same pool as Saracens and won 18-6 in France.
They have lost only once at home all season and put 26 points on Racing, 46 points on Stade Francais, 18 points on Toulouse.
In short, it will be a different game from last season's 46-6 landslide for Saracens at Twickenham in the semi-finals.

In the end a colossal error by Metro and Marcelo Bosch was as cool as you like into the teeth of a gale. He kicked it as though it was his last kick in practice."

Saracens' travelling contingent are on the pitch to congratulate their team. They will travel away to play Clermont in the last four - a team they beat at home in last year's semi-finals.

Penalty to Saracens! Marcelo Bosch to step up. This is all-or-nothing, death-or-glory from the Racing 10m line and a slight angle.

Racing Metro take an age over the set-piece. It is another minutes chewed off the clock by the time Maxine Machenaud finally spins it away from the base...

A forward pass from Chris Wyles to Marcelo Bosch in the centres. A basic error and it is Racing Metro with the ball and only two minutes to juice out of the clock.

Both defences stretched but no knockout blow registered. Play is back up on halfway and crucially Saracens are throwing into the line-out.
Mike Phillips on for Metro at scrum-half.

Saracens are walking the tightrope here. Neil de Kock drops a kick - but the ball falls backwards. David Strettle juggles - but hangs on in the tackle. They still have the ball and only have a few spells of possession left to score the three points they need.

The scrum heads south, Nigel Owens blows up, Maxine Machenaud steps up and suddenly it is Saracens who are playing catch-up rugby.
Ten minutes left and Charlie Hodgson might need to warm up that drop-goal routine.

Some horribly crossed wires in the Saracens line-out.
Schalk Brits strolls back in off the touchline to get a repeat of the call, but his fellow forwards have already started their lifting routine. He panics and lobs the ball in before he is back on the oche.
Scrum Metro.
