The Bayern Munich juggernaut rolls on. Lyon had their moments, particularly during the early running, and they were able to feel they played a number of Bayern’s attacking threats well. Although Robert Lewandowski applied the gloss to the scoreline late on, it was not truly his night and the same could be said of Thomas Müller and Ivan Perisic.

But when the menace comes from all angles, it is a tall order to keep it all out. Too tall an order. Against this Bayern team, it is inevitable somebody will cut loose and it was Serge Gnabry who brought down Lyon one step shy of their first European final.
