Olympique Lyonnais will look to their formidable European home record this season as they bid to overturn a 1-0 deficit and secure a first UEFA  Champions League final place at the expense of FC Bayern München.

• Claude Puel’s side are unbeaten at Stade de Gerland in Europe this season and, having won their last three UEFA Champions League home outings, will hope to make it four in a row against their German visitors.

• Finalists seven times previously, Bayern lost on their travels in the last two rounds of the competition but are now within touching distance of their first UEFA Champions League showpiece since 2001, when they last lifted the trophy.

• Arjen Robben scored the only goal in the 69th minute of an eventful first leg in Munich. Both teams finished proceedings with ten men after Bayern’s Franck Ribéry was shown a straight red card in the 37th minute for a high tackle on Lisandro while Jérémy Toulalan collected two yellow cards early in the second half.

Previous meetings

• Before the first leg, the clubs had met six times in the UEFA Champions League over the past decade, recording two wins apiece.

• In the 2008/09 group stage, they drew 1-1 in Munich, Zé Roberto (52) cancelling out a Martín Demichelis own goal (25).

• Bayern secured first place in the section with a 3-2 win in Lyon on the final matchday that consigned their hosts to second. The Bavarian side raced into a three-goal lead through Miroslav Klose (11, 37) and Ribéry (34) before Sidney Govou (52) and Karim Benzema (68) narrowed the deficit.

• The full lineups for that meeting on 10 December 2008 were:
Lyon: Lloris, Gassama (Källström 64), Mensah, Boumsong, Grosso, Toulalan,  Makoun, Govou, Ederson (Delgado 77), Mounier (Fred 64), Benzema.
Bayern: Rensing, Oddo (Breno 90), Demichelis, Van Buyten, Lahm, Van Bommel, Borowski, Schweinsteiger (Altıntop 89), Ribéry, Klose (Ottl 68), Toni.

• It was Lyon first and Bayern second when the teams met in the 2003/04 group stage. Then they drew 1-1 at Gerland – Péguy Luyindula’s 88th-minute equaliser rescuing the hosts – before Lyon won 2-1 in Bavaria through a goal from Bayern old boy Giovane Elber.

• Demichelis featured for Bayern in those games with Anthony Réveillère and Govou in the Lyon side.

• The clubs first met in the 2000/01 second group stage, Jens Jeremies scoring the only goal in Munich in November 2000. Govou is the only survivor of that encounter, having appeared as an 81st-minute substitute.

• Govou hit two first-half goals to set up a 3-0 Lyon victory in the return fixture in France on 6 March 2001, but Bayern still advanced and went on to claim the trophy that year while Les Gones were eliminated.
