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

German champions reach Champions League final with 3-0 win in Lisbon

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.

Hydrogen: Market potential

Hydrogen has an estimated $11 trillion market potential, according to Bank of America Securities and is expected to generate $2.5tn in direct revenues and $11tn of indirect infrastructure by 2050 as its production increases six-fold.

"We believe we are reaching the point of harnessing the element that comprises 90 per cent of the universe, effectively and economically,” the bank said in a recent report.

Falling costs of renewable energy and electrolysers used in green hydrogen production is one of the main catalysts for the increasingly bullish sentiment over the element.

The cost of electrolysers used in green hydrogen production has halved over the last five years and will fall to 60 to 90 per cent by the end of the decade, acceding to Haim Israel, equity strategist at Merrill Lynch. A global focus on decarbonisation and sustainability is also a big driver in its development.
