5th minute: brave start of the guests. Bayern put Lyon under well under pressure, but without having the big chance of scoring.
2nd minute: First advance of Bavaria. Lohmann serves Harder on the left, the flank of which is clarified to the corner. However, this does not bring anything.
1. Minute: Kick -off in Lyon. Referee Iuliana Demetrescu releases the ball.
6.45 p.m.: The captain Eriksson and Renard are in the side choice. Shortly afterwards it is clear that Bayern will be triggered. The Munich women swear again in the team.
6.40 p.m.: The teams run in and face up. The Champions League anthem sounds. It starts here.
6:25 p.m.: By the way, the Bayern women showed how a 0-2 deficit can be turned over last weekend. In the semi-finals of the DFB Cup, the team led by captain Giulia Gwinn with exactly this result against TSG Hoffenheim. Pernille Harder then led her team to a 3-2 victory with a triple pack.
6.10 p.m.: Lyon relies on the trio chawinga, Dumornay and Diani in the attack. The three offensive forces impress primarily through their speed and technical finesse. In midfield, among others, world champion Lindsey wheels and ex-DFB star Dzsenifer Marozsán swirl. Defense chief Wendie Renard keeps the shop tight in the back. National player Sara Däbritz is on the bench for the time being.
5:45 p.m.: The list of Bavaria is here. As in the first leg, returnee Mala Grohs is in the box. The goalkeeper had retained her team from a higher defeat with an held penalty, among other things. Lohmann, Damnjanović, Tanikawa, Simon and Zigiotti are new in the team compared to the first game.
5:20 p.m.: But you don’t want to give up at Bayern yet. “If we score an early goal, everything is still in it,” said international Alara Şehitler, for example. “I think we are all in the mood and believe that we can still turn it.”

The Bavarians showed a committed performance in phases, but the French women had the better chances – the victory of the guests at Bayern Campus was fine.
