Lyon 0-3 Bayern Munich 3: Ivica Olic hails his 'best match'

HAT-TRICK hero Ivica Olic hailed last night's performance as "the best match of my life" after his treble sent Bayern Munich to their first Champions League final since 2001.

Olic scored all three goals as Bayern swept aside 10-man Lyon to progress to the final 4-0 on aggregate.

"It's incredible to win by this score and to have scored three goals," said the Croatia striker. "We played really well, my team-mates made my job easier by creating a lot of spaces and scoring opportunities.

"It's maybe the best match of my life, but it's above all a very good performance by the whole of the team. We will have to do the same thing in the final."

Lyon never really looked like scoring but their slim hopes of reaching the final all but evaporated when Cris was harshly dismissed on the hour mark with the score on the night still 1-0.
