The final four of the Champions League won't feature an English team for the first time since 2003 after Bayern Munich ousted Manchester United, while Lyon reached its maiden semifinal by eliminating Bordeaux. Bayern trailed 3-0 before losing 3-2 at United to draw 4-4 on aggregate and advance on away goals, becoming the first German team to make the final four since 2002. Lyon also lost the return leg, going down 1-0 at Bordeaux but heading through 3-2 winners overall. Bayern hosts Lyon in the first leg of the semfinals on April 21, with the return six days later in France. In the other semifinal, Inter Milan hosts Barcelona on April 20 and plays in Spain eight days later. Wayne Rooney made a surprise return for United after injuring his ankle in last week's first leg, and he was involved in both goals as the hosts wiped out Bayern's 2-1 advantage inside seven minutes at Old Trafford after goals from Darron Gibson and Nani. Nani gave Manchester United a 3-0 lead when he scored in the 41st. But Ivica Olic began Bayern's comeback two minutes later when he left Michael Carrick flat-footed and slid a low, angled shot past goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. United played with 10 men after Rafael da Silva was sent off in the 50th for fouling Franck Ribery to receive a second yellow card. The Brazilian defender had already been booked for a petulant kick after being fouled by Mark Van Bommel. With Rooney replaced after bursting a blood vessel below his right ankle, Bayern took control and Arjen Robben scored from a volley in the 74th to send the German team through. Lyon had goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to thank after he leaped high to palm away a powerful header from Bordeaux midfielder Geraldo Wendel in the 87th minute that could have taken the hosts through on away goals. When the referee blew for the final whistle, Lyon's players jumped on Lloris in jubilation, forming a mass scrum on the field. Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh scored right on halftime, sliding home a cross from Benoit Tremoulinas that was diverted by teammate Jaroslav Plasil. But despite ending a three-game losing run in all competitions, Bordeaux was out of the competition.There have been three English teams in the semifinals of the competition for the past three seasons. Liverpool was the first team to be eliminated this year, bowing out in the group stage, while Chelsea was knocked out by Inter Milan in the round-of-16 and Arsenal was beaten by Barcelona on Tuesday in the quarterfinals. The final of club football's biggest competition is May 22 in Madrid.
