FC Bayern - Lyon today in the live ticker: Will it be milling again tonight?
Update from August 19, 1:45 p.m.: In just under seven hours the ball will roll in Lisbon and the second finalist after PSG is being sought. Are the Bavarians putting the next gala on the floor or does the favorite scare from Lyon strike again? Bayern leader Thomas Müller played particularly well in the 8: 2 against Barcelona in the quarter-finals and was named “Player of the Game” with two goals and one assist.
The 30-year-old is playing a terrific season after his small low under former coach Niko Kovac and collected 40 scorer points in 48 competitive games. Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge raves in the Sport Bild von Müller: “Thomas is the biggest winner under Hansi Flick . It is his second, third spring. Thomas is incomparable, he has proven it again. "Rummenigge even believes a Müller comeback in the German national team is possible:" Thomas is in his best shape again, like in 2010 or 2014, when he performed incredibly with the national team . He has this quality back. "

- FC Bayern Munich (@FCBayern) August 19, 2020Update from August 19, 10:40 a.m .: So the big day has come! The Bayern Munich fighting tonight against Olympique Lyon for a place in the final of the Champions League . The players are hot, you could tell in the past few days. Meanwhile, there are of course wild transfer rumors in the background.
As the Italian TV broadcaster Sport Mediaset recently announced, Inter Milan is apparently thinking about an absolutely crazy swap deal. Corentin Tolisso and David Alaba should therefore move to Lombardy, but Munich should keep Ivan Perisic and get Marcelo Brozovic . If this offer was actually received by the Bayern bosses, there should have been a loud laugh in the FCB executive suite. Alaba is considered indispensable and Tolisso has recently shown that he could still play a major role in Munich.

Update from August 19, 0.20 a.m.: After the first semi-final of Bundesliga representatives RB Leipzig against Paris Saint-Germain, the first Champions League finalist has been determined. So Bayern could - if they win against Olympique Lyon - play against PSG. Thomas Tuchel's team was superior to Julian Nagelsmann's team in all respects.
With regard to his line-up against Lyon, Hansi Flick already gave the first information at the press conference on Tuesday. Accordingly, a long-injured player could celebrate his comeback.

Update from August 18, 4:35 p.m.: Is Hansi Flick building his team against Olympique Lyon? He gave answers at the press conference at 5.45 p.m. Serge Gnabry is also there.
Lisbon - In the second round, Chelsea didn't stand a chance in two games. In the quarter-finals, FC Barcelona were swept off the pitch in a game 8-2. And now the French from Olympique Lyon are waiting for FC Bayern * in the Champions League semi-finals . But beware of the supposed lightweight: Lyon has so far eliminated calibers like Juventus Turin and Manchester City in the knockout round. Attention, attention!

And yet on Wednesday evening at 9 p.m. in Lisbon, FC Bayern Munich * will of course be the clear favorite in this game. The French shouldn't be a stumbling block on the way to the second triple since 2013. Back then, too, the Bayern championship, cup and Champions League won in one season. Thanks to coach Jupp Heynckes.
FC Bayern on the way to the final - Lyon shouldn't become a stumbling block
Seven years later, the current FCB coach Hansi Flick * could achieve something similar. It is no coincidence that Flick is already being compared to Don Jupp. There is praise from the highest level, from CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: “He has the quality to lead the team. We play spectacular and modern football under him - and he has an empathic relationship with the team ”. And: Flick could set a new record. Like coach legend Fabio Capello in 1992/93 with AC Milan and Luis Fernandez with Paris Saint-Germain in 1994, the record champions' coach won his first six games in the premier class. A success against Lyon and Flick * would be the sole record holder. Seven wins in the first seven games - that has never happened before.
In terms of personnel, Bayern can draw on the full, even the most recently injured defender Benjamin Pavard could suddenly be an option again. Flick * is unlikely to make a change in the starting line-up after the 8-2 gala against pitiful Barca players . So the strong Ivan Perisic should continue to be there from the start. Bayern can rely on striker Robert Lewandowski * at the top of the storm . Even if the Pole scored unusually late against the Catalans - namely only in the 82nd minute to 6-2 - Lewandowski * is in top form. He has scored in every Champions League game he has played this season. 14 goals in eight games are absolutely top value.

- UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) August 17, 2020FC Bayern ahead of the first Champions League final since 2013 - clear favorites against Lyon
Opponent Olympique Lyon has only played a meager three competitive games since the outbreak of Corona and the resulting early cancellation of the championship at the beginning of March. The two Champions League games against Juventus and Manchester City and the final of the Coupe de la Ligue. Rudi Garcia's team only had to admit defeat in this championship Paris on penalties. So watch out, dear Bavaria. Garcia is considered a tactical fox. In the 3-1 victory in the quarter-finals against Guardiola's Manchester City, he brought goal scorer Moussa Dembélé as a joker - he scored twice.
Lyon versus Bayern . The duels between the two teams always have a special aura. When the Munich team went down 3-0 in the east of France in March 2001, then President Franz Beckenbauer started the ultimate angry speech. Two months later, Oliver Kahn *, Stefan Effenberg, Giovane Elber and Co. won their first Champions League title . Or 2010: At that time, the two clubs also met in the semi-finals of the premier class . The Bayern sat confidently with clean sheets. The final was then lost to Inter Milan. That should be different this year - at least in the final. * tz.de is part of the nationwide Ippen digital editorial network
