CONFIRMED
Lyon will face French rivals Paris Saint Germain in the semi-finals on Wednesday.
FULL TIME: Lyon 2-1 Bayern Munich
It was a fantastic effort from the Germans, but Lyon take one step closer to another European crown. They will be facing French rivals PSG in the semi-final on Wednesday should the Parisians hold on against Arsenal.
Clock is ticking
Just two minutes remain for Bayern to force extra time...
All over?
Bayern have been threatening since Simon's goal, but the pressure has died back in the last few minutes. Is that it for the German side?
Lyon change
Bacha replaces Dzenifer Marozsan for Lyon.
Confirmation
Lohman was replaced by Zadrazil and Glas was replaced by Ilestedt.
HUGE CHANCE!
Sydney Lohmann clips the crossbar. So close to an equaliser! Glas and Lohmann have both been taken off.
Confirmation
Simone Laudehr was the woman who replaced the injured Damnjanovic
Change for Bayern
Having said that, Jovana Damnjanovic has been subbed off following the knock to her knee. She is carried off the pitch by the physios.
Injury worries
Jovana Damnjanovic is down following a tough tackle from Wendie Renard. She seems to be in some discomfort, but hopefully she will be okay.
Bayern switch
The earlier Bayern changes were Schüller and Beerensteyn off and Asseyi and Damnjanovic on.
Changes
Jodie Taylor and Sakina Karchaoui replace Eugenie Le Sommer and Nikita Parris.
GOAL: Lyon 2-1 Bayern Munich
It's a bizarre goal, but Bayern are back in it! Carolin Simon comes back to haunt her former employers as her low, driven free-kick is missed by everyone and finds its way in. Game on!
GOAL: Lyon 2-0 Bayern Munich
Told you! Amel Majri smashes home the free kick!
Lyon are looking to the semis now as Bayern make a double switch
Inviting position for Lyon
Delphine Cascarino is brought down right on the edge of the area for a free kick. Massive potential for Lyon for a second goal...
CHANCE
A massive chance goes begging as Delphine Cascarino finds herself in space in the box, but fires her shot straight at the 'keeper.
Dzsenifer Maroszan picks up a booking.
Bayern starting strong
Bayern Munich are playing the better football to start the half. Lucy Bronze is called upon to clear an inviting cross from Hanna Glas.
CHANCE!
A half chance for Lyon as Le Sommer brings a long ball down well, but Hanna Glas scrambles across to clear for a corner. The corner bounces around but comes to nothing.
BACK UNDERWAY
Bayern are chasing the game as they kick the second half off
Sub for Lyon
Amandine Henry has been replaced by Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir
One foot in the semis
Lyon cannot afford to shut off as Bayern have looked bright on the counter attack all match.
It is unclear who they will face in the semis should they hold on as Arsenal are currently drawing 1-1 with PSG.
HALF TIME: Lyon 1-0 Bayern Munich
Nikita Parris' 41st minute opener is no more than Lyon deserve as the sides head in for half time.
One minute added time
There will be a singular additional minute despite the delay following the goal.
Parris up on her feet
Nikita Parris has been cleared to carry on playing following her clash with Benkarth. Play resumes.
GOAL: Lyon 1-0 Bayern Munich
Eugenie Le Sommer puts in a teasing long ball and Nikita Parris rises to head in a brave opener for the reigning champions. She is surrounded by physios as she collided with Laura Benkarth.
Trouble for Lyon
Without Ada Hegerberg, Lyon are clearly lacking a focal point. Nikita Parris is trying her best, but she is constantly being flagged offside. Every attack is breaking down for the champions.
Succession of fouls
It's getting rather scrappy in Bilbao. There has been a smattering of cheap fouls for both sides in the last five minutes, not allowing either side to build any momentum.
Calamity in attack
Lucy Bronze switched the play smartly to Eugenie Le Sommer, but Marozsan gets in her way. Bayern clear for a throw before the second attack is ended by the offside flag.
CHANCE!
Lyon are opened up by a cross in from Hanna Glas, but it was just too far for Lea Schüller to poke in. Wake-up call for the champions.
Half chance
Lyon have a free-kick pinball in the area, but the whistle blows for a foul.
Holding firm
Lyon remain well on top and are dominating possession, but the Bayern defence are remaining defiant.
Chance!
A header from midfield is missed by Bayern's midfield and finds Nikita Parris. However, she was well offside.
Strong start for the Champions
Lyon are looking the stronger of the two sides in the opening five minutes, but are yet to find a killer final ball. Eugenie Le Sommer is looking as sharp as ever on the left wing.
Half chance
Cascarino latches onto a good long ball, but her low cross is parried away by the goalkeeper. Henry has an effort from range but it's scuffed.
WE ARE OFF
Lyon start the game in the heavy Bilbao rain.
The teams are out
The Champions League anthem has just ended and the squad photos are being taken.
Just ten minutes to go...
Kick-off in Bilbao is rapidly approaching...
