Somewhere Oliver Kahn is smiling (and looking like a psycho)


It's official, for the eighth time in their history Bayern Munich is headed to the Champions League Final on May 22 against either Inter Milan or Barcelona.

This one was never really in doubt and Olic was clearly the man of the match as he scored all three goals for Bayern.

If they can get Ribery back for the Final, Shimer correctly pointed out that they'll give Inter or Barce a great match.

Bayern has really taken their game to another level as the stakes have gotten higher. With Robben, Schweinsteiger, Olic, Hahm, Van Bommel et. al Bayern is a team full of stars that can match the all-star teams from Inter and Barce.

Lyon was a great story: the underdog from France that outlasted all the English clubs and had a storybook run. They were simply beaten by a better team and their magic ran out. They didn't have the horses to match Bayern and once Olic got his first goal today, you knew it might get away from them quickly.

With a bloody head, Olic finishes off his hat trick


What a performance by Olic. He just finished off his hat trick with a header in the 78th minute.

Lahm hit a perfect cross from the right side and Olic just had to push it past Lyon's goalie. Miroslav Klose, who just came on for Robben, was next to Olic and he could have just have easily finished it off.

Olic has a goal with his left foot, his right foot and his head. Not sure when it happened but after the last goal, his head was bleeding. Haha, the guy is an animal. I don't know if nobody on Bayern notices or what.

3-0 Bayern in the 81st minute.

Olic puts Bayern one step closer to the final


Bayern just went ahead 1-0 in the 26th minute after some great counterattacking from Robben, Mueller and finally Olic.

Robben had the ball at the top of the box and found Mueller to the left of the box. He turned and under pressure delivered to his striker partner Olic. He fought off a defender and slotted it past Lyon's goalkeeper, who dove the wrong way.

1-0 Bayern today and 2-0 on aggregate. Lyon is on the brink of elimination as they'll need three goals to take it now.
