Bayern Munich beat Lyon 3-0 in their Champions League semi-final in Lisbon on Wednesday to reach the Champions League final and remain on course for a treble-winning season.

German champions’ winger, Serge Gnabry scored twice in 15 minutes in the first half, before a header from talismanic Polish striker Robert Lewandowski finished off Lyon in the 88th minute.

Lyon missed two golden opportunities to go ahead early on at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, through Memphis Depay and Karl Toko-Ekambi and just within seconds of the latter miss, Gnabry had blasted Bayern into an 18th-minute lead in stunning style, and the Germany winger scored again just after the half-hour mark.

This win has set up a tantalising final for Bayern Munich against Paris Saint-Germain.
