Twitter reacts as Bayern Munich beat Lyon 3-0 to reach Champions League final

Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry were on fire against Lyon

Bayern Munich marched their way to their 11th UEFA Champions League final after making little work of Lyon's brief early-game dominance. The Bundesliga champions recorded a 3-0 win over Rudi Garcia's side.. Hansi Flick's side took the lead through Serge Gnabry, who scored a goal reminiscent of Arjen Robben's trademark left footed curlers. The 25 year old was released down the right and he cut in to the edge of the box before powering a left-footed strike to the left of a diving Anthony Lopes.

Gnabry was at it again in the second half, as he cut in from the right again, sprayed the ball to the left and side and made a run into the box to finish a move he started. Rudi Garcia's side were wasteful in front of goal as they squandered a plethora of chances to first go ahead and later to pull one or two back.

Robert Lewandowski then added his customary goal, heading home Joshua Kimmich's free kick in the dying moments of the game, the final nail in Lyon's coffin.

Twitter erupted after the absolutely clinical display by Bayern Munich. Here are the best tweets:

What a machine this Bayern Munich team is!

Bayern Munich have been behind for 22 minutes in 2020.

Incredible 55 goals this season for Lewandowski - with 9 in the 9 #UCL games.

No wonder Bayern are unhappy there is no Ballon D'Or this year

9 - Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski has now scored in nine consecutive @ChampionsLeague games; only Ruud Van Nistelrooy in 2003 (9) and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018 (11) have scored in as many successive matches in the competition’s history. Phenom. #UCL pic.twitter.com/EbEuoAxjIP

Serge Gnabry, the man Tony Pulis deemed worthy of just ONE league appearance for West Brom while on loan, scores an absolute screamer in the Champions League semi final. pic.twitter.com/x6Lu3CXFqF

Look away Arsenal fans...

Arsenal fans crying about Gnabry? You’ll never understand the pain of Chelsea fans having to watch Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah tear up our own league

If your club sold Gnabry for £5M and then bought Pepe for £72M, you shouldn't comment on other clubs transfer business.

He's done it again, hasn't he?

Arsenal Wenger sold Gnabry to Werder Bremen so that Arsenal would have a problem at RW for years, meaning Arsenal had to buy Pepe, and ultimately get rid of Raul Sanllehi. Mister Wenger has done it again.
