Bayern Munich are expected to be without the services of Benjamin Pavard, who picked up an ankle injury in training last month. The versatile defender returned to training on Monday but Hansi Flick is unlikely to use him against Lyon.

Injuries: Benjamin Pavard

Lyon have no injuries or suspensions ahead of the monumental semi-final clash, with Rudi Garcia unlikely to make any kind of changes to the side.

Lyon vs Bayern Munich: Prediction

If there was any question about Bayern Munich’s status as Champions League favourites before, the 8-2 rout of Barcelona serves as a fitting answer to the doubters as well as a clear reminder of just how dominant Hansi Flick’s team has been on either side of the coronavirus pandemic.

8 – Bayern Munich are the first team to score eight goals in a Champions League knockout match. Endless. #UCL

The Bavarians are on a 29-game unbeaten run in all competitions and are yet to taste defeat this year, with their previous loss coming in December 7 against Borussia Monchengladbach.

They also boast a 100 per cent record in the elite European competition this season, winning all nine games and scoring a staggering 39 goals.

Meanwhile, Lyon may have tactically outclassed Manchester City in the quarter-finals but they mustn’t forget that their Bundesliga opponents are a more merciless and less wasteful machine.

We can expect an admirable performance from Les Gones, who have done incredibly well to get this far in the competition and are unlikely to give up a finals berth without a fight.

While there is an element of uncertainty because of the current format of the Champions League, it’s difficult to see Rudi Garcia’s men getting the better of this absolutely terrifying Bayern Munich side.

Lyon vs Bayern Munich final verdict: 1-4
