Team news

The only doubtful player for Bayern Munich is Benjamin Pavard. He has returned to light training, but it is highly doubtful he will be fully fit for a high intensity clash. However, he is not needed at the moment as Alphonso Davies and Joshua Kimmich both are performing very well. Ivan Perisic might also retain his spot after a good outing against FC Barcelona.

As for Lyon, Moussa Dembele is fighting for a spot in the starting XI after coming from the bench and playing a crucial role in the success of his side. Apart from that, no further changes are likely to be made to the starting XI.
