Bayern now in champions league final, defeats Lyon in semi final
As a matter of fact Lyon tried its best, but at the end could not stop Bayern’s wonderful football playing machine from rolling on to its first Champions League final since winning the competition in 2013.
It was two goals from Serge Gnabry, the first a bone-shaking finish from the edge of the penalty area, while the second was just an interesting tap-in, which effectively settled the game before halftime.
The hard fighting Robert Lewandowski scored his 55th goal of the season and his 15th in this season’s Champions League, through a header in the 88th minute to make it three.
