Bayern have won only one of their last eight Champions League matches against French clubs, a 3-2 win in Lyon last season. They lost home and away to Bordeaux in this season's group stage.
Spanish giants Real Madrid will face a tough first leg of the tie against Lyon on Tuesday. The French team found very good form lately as they won the last two league games 4-0 and 4-1. Real Madrid have also won their last four league games to keep the pressure on Barcelona.
Bayern Munich won a hard fought game against Lyon at home, it ended 1-0 with each team having a player sent off. Will that be enough for Bayern to go through to the final?
The first leg ended 1-1 so Real Madrid will have a slim advantage to take into the second leg on Wednesday but Lyon will surely be determined to pull off an upset at Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid won their latest league game 2-0 against promoted Hercules while Lyon also won 2-0 but their victory was away at Sochaux.
Should Lyon take points off their second-placed opponents, Marseille will be able to take their first Ligue 1 title since 1992 with victory against Rennes later in the evening.
Lyon won the first leg 3-1 and they have an opportunity they can't afford to let slip away. On the other hand Bordeaux are looking forward to a historic semi final, can the Girondins make it?
Lyon are fourth but can move third, within a point of second-placed Lille, with a game to go if they beat Monaco at the Stade Gerland. If they can claim second spot, they are guaranteed a place in the group stage of the Champions League, while third will put them in the qualifiers.
Cristiano Ronaldo could not prevent Real Madrid from crashing out of the Champions League after a 1-1 draw in the Bernabeu. Ronaldo was not the main person at fault for Real’s miserable exit at the hands of Lyon.
