Getty Robert Lewandowski and FC Bayern Munich will look to continue their success in the Champions League semis.

Champions League 2020 Semifinals Preview
The way each team arrived at the semifinals couldn’t have been more different. Leipzig defeated Atletico Madrid in a 2-1 quarterfinal matchup, with Tyler Adams coming off the bench to score a late game-winning goal for Leipzig in thrilling fashion, while Paris St-Germain won in stoppage time against an underdog Atalanta team that gave them all they could handle.
Neither PSG nor RB Leipzig has ever reached the Champions League finals before, so one of these two is going to make history.
Bayern Munich advanced to the semis in dominant fashion, giving Barcelona an 8-2 beat down, but manager Hansi Flick isn’t letting his men rest on their laurels.
“Yes we played an outstanding game and we can be happy but we all know we still have hard work to do if we are to stand in the end where we want to stand,” Flick said, adding that he doesn’t want his team to get complacent and let off the gas: “We know how quickly it can happen in football. We must recharge… for the semifinals.”
Bayern is led by striker Robert Lewandowski, who leads the Champions League in scoring with 14 goals. Bayern has won their last five games with stingy defense and timely goals, and it’s a pattern they’ll be looking to continue against Lyon, who is 1-3-1 in its last five contests.
Rudi Garcia’s squad advanced to the semis with a surprising 3-1 win over Manchester City in Lisbon on Saturday. When Garcia spoke to the media after his team advanced to the semis, he expressed equal amounts of confidence and caution.
“We know who we are coming up against next,” Garcia said about facing the heavily-favored Bayern team. “Confidence is growing within the squad, but we will be outsiders and once again it will need an exploit from us to go through. When you are in the last four we can say that we deserve to be there and if we get to the final we really will deserve it.”
This is the first time since 1991 that there will be no English, Spanish, or Italian squads in the semifinals of the tourney. The finals will take place at a neutral venue in Lisbon, Portugal.
