Ivica Olic's natural hat trick (26', 67',78', that's him celebrating) propelled Bayern Munich to a 3-0 road beatdown of Lyon in match two and a 4-0 aggregate win for their two-game series. Bayern will move on to the May 22 final at Madrid, facing the winner of Barcelona-Inter Milan (with Inter leading 3-1 on aggregate). This will be their first final appearance since winning the title in 2001 when they defeated Valencia in the penalty-kick shootout in Milan, Italy, and the first appearance by a German club in the final since Bayer Leverkusen dropped the title match at Glasgow, Scotland against Real Madrid in 2002.
One consequence of the Bayern victory was that Rangers, who won the Scottish Premier League title on Sunday, will now automatically qualify for the Group Stage of next year's Champions League.
