Besiktas 1 Bayern Munich 3 (1-8 agg): Heynckes’ men cruise into quarter-finals.
Thiago Alcantara scored but was substituted due to injury as Bayern Munich won 3-1 at Besiktas to cruise into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
A 5-0 victory in last month’s first leg in Munich had put Bayern in a commanding position and there was never any sign of a miraculous comeback in Istanbul on Wednesday.
Heynckes’ men could claim the Bundesliga title at the weekend if results go their way and they remain on track for another treble, the veteran coach having won the Champions League among three trophies before departing Bayern at the end of his third spell in 2013.
Bayern, who have reached the Champions League semi-finals in six of the last eight seasons, will find out their quarter-final opponents in Friday’s draw.
- Bayern Munich have now reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the seventh successive season
- Jupp Heynckes is the first manager in Champions League history to win 11 consecutive games.
