Bayern equal club record 14-game winning run as Muller maintains impressive streak

Bayern Munich have equalled their club record winning run, and it always looked to be on the cards once Thomas Muller had opened the scoring against Besiktas.

A 5-0 thrashing of Besiktas in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie means Bayern have now won 14 games in a row to match a club milestone from 1980.

And the signs were ominous as soon as Muller had given Jupp Heynckes' side the lead before the end of the first half.

Bayern had already been put in an advantageous situation just 16 minutes into the contest as a bad Atiba Hutchinson back pass was picked off by Robert Lewandowski.
