Match Schedule:
Lyon vs. Bayern Munich
Champions League Semi-final
Date: 19 August 2020;
Time: 2:00 p.m.
Stadium: José Alvalade
The French team
led by Rudi GarcÃa comes to this meeting full of motivation after eliminating
Pep Guardiola's Manchester United in the quarterfinals and giving the bell in
the tournament, since around before they had also been in charge of leaving
Juventus out, which cost the Italian team the dismissal of their then coach,
Sarri. For its part, Bayern, who
looks favorite in this key after the overwhelming 2-8 victory over Barcelona,
will seek to continue their 27-game streak without knowing defeat and settle in
the final of the tournament, an instance to which they did not reach since the
2012-13 season when they beat Dortmund.
If Lyon gives the
bell to eliminate the Giant of Bavaria we could also see a final in French, as
it would be measured against PSG
that thrashed Leipzig, otherwise Bayern Munich will represent Germany to have
the third clash between Germans and French for la Orejona, the 2020 Champions
League title, on August 23 at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa.
It will be held without an audience at the José Alvalade Stadium and the winner
will get a direct pass to the grand final. Bayern Munich seems unstoppable.
Hans-Dieter Flick's men arrive motivated after thrashing Barcelona 8-2 and are
emerging as the great numbers to win the title.
However, he will face a tough rival who comes from
eliminating huge teams like Juventus and Manchester City. This is Olympique de
Lyon, Rudi GarcÃa's French team that will seek to reach a Champions League
final for the first time in its history. The winner of this match must be
measured against the winner of Leipzig
vs. PSG in the grand final.
