Serge Gnabry 9, Robert Lewandowski 7, Memphis Depay 7: Lyon v Bayern Munich player ratings

Serge Gnabry struck twice and Robert Lewandowski scored a late header as Bayern Munich booked their place in the Champions League final with a 3-0 win over Lyon in Lisbon.

Although the Germans were overwhelming favourites to make it through, Lyon made the early running, and should have been ahead after chances fell to Memphis Depay and Karl Toko Ekambi.

Once Gnabry had struck a powerful drive into the top corner after 18 minutes, though, the result rarely seemed in any doubt.

Bayern will play their 11th European Cup final, when they face Paris Saint-Germaine – who will be playing their first – at the Estadio da Luz on Sunday.

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
