Croatia striker Ivica Olic's superb hat-trick fired Bayern Munich into their first Champions League final since 2001 after the German side demolished Olympique Lyon 3-0 away on Tuesday.

Three clinical finishes from Olic helped the four-times European champions complete a 4-0 aggregate semi-final success at Stade Gerland.

Olic netted his first after 26 minutes with a neat turn and shot, smashed in a pass from Hamit Altintop after 67 minutes and completed his hat-trick with a header 12 minutes from time.

Bayern will face either Inter Milan or Barcelona in the May 22 final at the Bernabeu in Madrid.

Lyon finished the game with 10 men after centre back Cris was sent off just before the hour. He was booked for a foul on Olic, then shown a second yellow card for mocking referee Massimo Busacca's decision.
