Lyon enjoyed the better chances early on in their Champions League semi-final clash with Bayern Munich, but it was the Bundesliga giants who opened the scoring.
The Ligue 1 outfit looked dangerous in the opening stages with Memphis Depay the first to go close, but their lack of a clinical edge in front of goal came back to haunt them.

As seen in the video below, Gnabry did brilliantly to cut in from the right side before unleashing a superb strike which flew into the back of the net to give the reigning Bundesliga champions a priceless lead.
That will undoubtedly have settled any nerves after going close to conceding first on multiple occasions, while it will have been a huge blow for Lyon as they will rue the chances that they missed prior to that goal.
Time will tell if they can turn things around, but it sets up a fascinating tie with Paris Saint-Germain waiting in the final.
