| - Bayern Munich and Lyon have named unchanged starting line-ups for their Champions League semi-final clash at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon on Wednesday. It is no surprise to see Bayern coach Hansi Flick keep faith in the side that demolished Barcelona 8-2 in their quarter-final last Friday. They have won their last 19 games in all competitions and have scored 39 goals in nine games in the Champions League this season. The only doubt in the Lyon line-up was whether Moussa Dembele would be rewarded with a starting place after coming off the bench to score twice in the 3-1 quarter-final defeat of Manchester City. However, the former Celtic player has to again settle for a place as a substitute with Memphis Depay and Karl Toko-Ekambi starting up front for Rudi Garcia's team. The winners will face Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday's final. PSG beat RB Leipzig 3-0 in the first semi-final on Tuesday. Starting line-ups (kick-off 1900 GMT): Lyon (3-5-2) Anthony Lopes; Jason Denayer, Marcelo, Fernando Marcal; Leo Dubois, Maxence Caqueret, Bruno Guimaraes, Houssem Aouar, Maxwel Cornet; Karl Toko-Ekambi, Memphis Depay (capt) Coach: Rudi Garcia (FRA) Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1) Manuel Neuer (capt); Joshua Kimmich, Jerome Boateng, David Alaba, Alphonso Davies; Leon Goretzka, Thiago Alcantara; Serge Gnabry, Thomas Mueller, Ivan Perisic; Robert Lewandowski Coach: Hansi Flick (GER) Referee: Mateu Lahoz (ESP) as/mw
