FULL TIME: LYON 0-3 BAYERN MUNICH (Agg 0-4)
93 mins Ref blows for full time as Bayern advance to the final. That was hard work to watch, tomorrow's encounter should be a different story. Barca or Inter?? Live on RTE Two tomorrow night but if you can't watch it, you can join us back here for minute by minute updates from the Camp Nou. Good night.
91 mins Bayern go in search of number four. In fact, make that Altintop goes in search of four as he dances through the Lyon bodies and then blasts it past the top corner and wide. The hard work was done but the finish was a shocker.
90 mins One last charge up the field by Lyon in search of a consolation. Gomis does well to hold the ball up and lays it off to Pjanic who blasts over the bar to sum up their night.
88 mins So Bayern Munich to play the winners of Barca and Inter at the Bernabeu. Bayern will definitely be underdogs going into the final but while they are not the most exciting team in the world, they'll be hard to penetrate and they have goalscorers as well.
86 mins Four minutes to go....yawn.
85 mins The game has lost all its pace at this stage with another five minutes plus added time to endure. Hard to watch.
80 mins You got to love these Lyon fans - back to full voice and giving Lisandro a standing ovation as he is subbed. I can't imagine what kind of reception he would get if he actually did anything of note in a game.
78 mins GOAL BAYERN MUNICH That's the hat-trick for Olic as he heads home to make it 4-0 on aggregate. A jaded looking Lyon are just hanging on here waiting for the final whistle.
77 mins What a difference a week makes. Robben subbed there and nothing but smiles as he heads off dreaming about his return to his old home in Madrid for the final.
76 mins Bayern getting acres of space. Muller almost finds Olic but Lyon get back to clear.
74 mins Lyon fans have gone quiet for the first time tonight - would you blame them. Good noise now from the large travelling contingent from Munich.
73 mins Olic almost in for a hat-trick there but Lyon defence just manage to close him down before he got the shot off.
70 mins Bayern starting to play through Lyon with the extra man making a big difference. Ball drops to Robben on the right. He cuts in and goes for power but Lloris parries and Lyon clear.
69 mins Govou still attacking showing some nice touches but Bayern, once more, stop the attack long before Lyon get near the danger zone.
66 mins GOAL BAYERN MUNICH All over now as Olic grabs his second of the night. Good work by Altintop who clips a nice ball into Olic who timed his run to perfection before smashing home.
64 mins Lyon, in fairness, still plugging away. Lisandro getting a bit more on the ball now, he needed to be much more influential to be honest.
60 mins Ten man Lyon still try to attack and Govou hits a cracker from distance - well saved by the keeper but it was a nice height for him.
59 mins RED CARD CRIS SENT OFF Oh dear oh dear, Cris applaudes the ref for giving him a yellow and the ref isn't having it and throws another yellow at him and sends him off.
58 mins Olic breaks clear but overhits his touch and Cris flies in with a strong tackle to dispossess. Oh dear, ref has given a free to Olic and to make matters worse he hands Cris a yellow. That's Cris out of the final, or next year's first Euro tie as is more likely now.
56 mins Lyon leaving gaps at the back now as Muller breaks forward - Bayern have an extra man as Muller cuts inside and feeds Robben in space - Robben takes a touch inside and opts for a place rather than power - good save by Lloris to keep the match alive.
53 mins Nice feet by Robben down the right, turns Boumsong not once but twice and pulls it back to the edge of the box for Schweinsteiger who unleashes a textbook volley which flies just over the bar. That was one of those situation where you might say that he hit that too well...
51 mins Top marks to the Lyon crowd still giving it socks - surely they cannot keep up the enthusiasm for the full 90 - their team really need to give them something to shout about...
49 mins Great chance there for Lyon sub Gomis - like Govou in the first half, snatches at a volley and hits it high and wide. Should have taken it down.
46 mins And we're back...
20.31 HALF-TIME Lyon 0-1 Bayern Munich (Agg 0-2)
44 mins It's all Bayern now who are playing with lots of confidence knocking the ball around for fun. With that, Lyon break and Delgado gets a shooting chance in the box but well defended and cleared. The home side could really have done with a goal before half-time. They'll have it all to do now in the second half as the ref brings the first 45 to a close.
40 mins Robben in on goal down coming in from the left but called back for offside. Marginal decision there. Probably level but Robben should have been looking across the line.
38 mins Robben getting plenty of ball here, attacking down the right and cutting inside. Lyon clear danger.
36 mins Gonalons goes on a mazy run, cuts inside and tries to find Govou who is in acres of space. Oh dear, overhits the pass and ball goes out for a throw to Bayern.
35 mins Another Lyon corner is easily dealt with. Bayern counter and Muller nearly gets in but for some fantastic last-ditch defending by Bastos.
33 mins The Robben show is just starting to warm up - an exquisite flick there in midfield to set up a Bayern attack followed by a shot that was not up to his usual standard.
30 mins Almost spoke too soon there as long cross-field ball find's Lyon's Bastos unmarked at the back post. Volleys wide. Had to hit the target there - in fact, he had time to take it down and make the keeper work. Huge missed opportunity there for Lyon.
28 mins Still plenty of time for Lyon to get back into this but their problem is that they don't look like scoring. Can't see anything other than Bayern going through tonight.
26 min Lyon now need three to progress. No extra time tonight now so uphill battle for the French side. Have to commend van Gaal's decision to go on the attack from the start.
25 mins GOAL BAYERN MUNICH Robben bursts forward and feed Olic, ball blocked but not cleared. Muller gets on the ball and pulls back for Olic who spins and smashes it home to give Bayern the lead.
24 mins Another soft yellow, this time for Bayern's Altintop. There'll be one or two off if the red keeps this up.
22 mins Yellow card for Gonalons for not getting out of the way of van Bommel who seemed to jump into him after knocking the ball past. The ref fell for it and as a result, Gonalons will miss the final should Lyon get there.
20 mins Game seems to have settled a bit and the pace has definitely dropped. Lyon crowd still in good voice. There was a shot from behind the goal earlier of the crowd bouncing and the stadium was literally rocking.
16 mins Former Geordie flop defender Boumsong is playing for Lyon. Mr Souness was defending him before the game saying he went on to play for Juve and Juve don't sign bad players....Hmmmm.
13 mins Lisandro takes Van Buyten out of it - definite foul but not worthy of the double-tuck according to Andy Gray commentating. Good call there, he did look like he was taking footballer diving to a whole new level.
10 mins Bayern definitely not looking like a side who have come to defend a 1-0 lead. Attack, attack, attack seems to be the Van Gaal way. Very open game so far. Not much between the teams.
9 mins First chance for Robben to get a chance to shine. Sets up a Bayern attack but easily dealt with.
7 mins Nice bit of Lyon pressure but comes to nothing. Working the wings well but not really threatening Bayern's goal.
5 mins Corner to Lyon. Delgado whips in a great ball abd Cris nearly connects at the back post. Ball goes out for a kick-out.
2 mins Munich playing from left to right in an all-white kit, Lyon in traditional navy. Early chance for Muller for Munich. Great play down the right pulled back for Muller who drills it just wide. Had to hit the target there really.
1 min Game on. Right then, we'll put last week's game down to nerves and hopefully a better contest is in store tonight. The stadium is absolutely hopping in Lyon. An early goal could unleash a cracking game.
