Football News: Bayern beat Lyon 3-0 in Champions League semis

Serge Gnabry led Bayern Munich into a first Champions League final in seven years, scoring twice in a 3-0 victory over Lyon on Wednesday. After losing four semifinals since lifting the European Cup for the fifth time in 2013, the German champions will now play first-time finalist Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday in Lisbon. It will be the first time since Real Madrid faced Juventus in 1998 that the Champions League final will feature two teams who qualified as domestic league champions. Bayern was clinical against a wasteful Lyon side. Gnabry's first-half double extended his hot scoring streak to nine goals across nine games in this season's pandemic-disrupted Champions League. But only Robert Lewandowski has scored in nine consecutive games in the competition, after heading in Bayern's third in the 88th minute to make it 55 goals in total this season for the striker. The loss for Lyon, in its first Champions League semifinal in a decade, cuts out the last route back into European competitions next season.
