We’re just one game away from the Champions League final as German giants Bayern Munich take on Olympique Lyonnais in this last-four clash. Read on to find out how to watch this crucial match between Lyon and Bayern Munich, no matter where in the world you are.
The tournament approaches its climax in Portugal with tonight’s semi-final game being played behind closed doors at the neutral venue of Sporting’s Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. The winner will face Paris Saint-Germain in the final on Sunday.
Five-time Champions League winners Bayern Munich go into tonight’s game as clear favorites. The team won the German league at a canter this season, picking up a record eighth consecutive Bundesliga title. FCB also took home the DFB-Pokal for the domestic double.
Hans-Dieter Flick’s side have not only looked impressive in their home nation, but they have also been a force in Europe, defeating the Premier League’s Chelsea 7-1 on aggregate in the round of 16 and humiliating La Liga’s Barcelona in the quarter-final with an 8-2 victory. That was Barça’s heaviest defeat since 1951 so it’s fair to say Bayern are in form going into tonight’s tie.
On the other hand, Olympique Lyonnais are looking to progress to their first-ever Champions League final. The team finished in seventh place in France’s Ligue 1 this season. Given their disappointing domestic form, getting to this point in the Champions League has come as a surprise for Rudi Garcia’s side.
The semi-final spot wasn’t gifted to Les Gones, though, as they fended off stiff competition from some of Europe’s biggest sides en route. Lyon scraped past Italian champions Juventus on away goals in the first knockout round and saw off one of the world’s most well-funded clubs in Manchester City in their quarter-final outing with a convincing 3-1 win.
