Of course, but I expect them to win to show they have truly taken the next step. An Europa League level run up to final and valiant loss to the first world class club they come up against will not be enough for me to say they deserve any sort of plaudits.

They already made the next step since they are in the final, and previously didn't even get past quarters. If they beat Bayern they make a jump of a few steps at once to top 3 in Europe with Liverpool and Bayern.

Lyon knocking out this Bayern would be like Deportivo beating that Milan back in the 00s.

Except Deportivo was very good back then.

Just the fact that they turned around a CL tie is enough proof of that.
Then again, something has gone wrong in this world when these things happen.

We explained it to you mate, PSG should have turned it around because Atalanta was an even more inexperienced team. Their CL experience was literally 0. PSG bottled it against clubs with more heritage like Barca, Chelsea, Madrid or Man Utd.

Bayern have hammered a lot of teams since Flick took over. Lyon have done very well so far but Juve and City are a level below Bayern right now.

What if Lyon knocks out Bayern, whats your assessment if PSG wins the final then?

Happy fans and owner, CL title no one can take away from them.

It will be hard to deduce anything much from them beating four tier-B clubs in a 2 week tournament with no fans. I know we're supposed to pretend this CL is like every other, but it's not. I'd like to see them compete with another top level club before getting anointed ideally.
