There was something typically Bayern Munich about the German champions' response to being humbled by Liverpool in last season's Champions League. What happened next after their round-of-16 elimination by Jurgen Klopp's team, who would go on to lift the European Cup, is the reason why Bayern eased past Lyon, winning 3-0 to set up a final against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.
Bayern were outrun and outplayed by Liverpool in the Allianz Arena, losing 3-1 on a night when the score might have been more one-sided. The German side looked old and in need of renewal, but while changes were made, there was no panic or over-reaction; Bayern kept faith with most of the experienced players who retained the ability and desire to go again.
