Bayern Munich booked their spot in the UEFA Champions League final following their emphatic 3-0 victory over Lyon on Wednesday night.
The Bundesliga giants had the upper hand over their Ligue 1 counterparts for much of the clash, ultimately retaining 66% possession of the ball throughout the 90 minutes.
While the French side had two close scoring opportunities within the first 25 minutes, Bayern made no mistake as Gnabry fired home a stunning goal for the Germans in the 18th minute.
In the 33rd minute, Gnabry grabbed his second goal with a much cooler finish. While Lyon came close after Ekambi received an opportune pass from Houssem Aouar, the French side failed to score yet again as the match continued to slip away from them.
Philippe Coutinho came close to sealing Bayern’s third goal of the night late in the second half, however, his header was ruled offside. Instead, Bayern’s third goal came courtesy of Robert Lewandowski, marking his 15th goal in Europe this season.
This game marks Bayern’s 10th straight Champions League win this season, equaling the record for winning streaks in the competition set by Real Madrid in 2015 and Bayern themselves in 2013. What’s more, this result marks the end of Bayern’s streak of four losses in their last four semi-finals. Bayern face PSG in the Champions League final on Sunday.
