Besiktas 1-3 Bayern Munich: German's Cruise Into UCL Quarter Finals After First Leg Rout

Bayern Munich completed a UEFA Champions League Round of 16 rout over Besiktas with a 3-1 win to secure their place in the quarter finals of the competition.

Leading 5-0 from the first leg in Munich, Thiago Alcantara's cushioned finish 18 minutes in gave the German a first half lead, and when Besiktas defended Gonnul put through his own net thirty seconds into the second half, Bayern looked out of sight. Vagner Love's first Champions League goal since 2011 gave the Turkish champions some hope on the night, but substitute Sandro Wagner's late goal sealed the win for the visitors.
