A Thiago Alcantara strike and Sandro Wagner's first Champions League goal capped Bayern Munich's 3-1 win at Besiktas on Wednesday as the German giants cruised into the quarter-finals for the seventh year in a row. Bayern completed a comprehensive 8-1 aggregate victory in Istanbul, having effectively clinched the last-16 tie following a 5-0 rout last month in the first leg in Munich.


For Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes, this was his 11th straight win in the Champions League which set a new competition record. Meanwhile, a cat interrupted the clash making the referee bring a halt to proceedings due to an unexpected pitch invader.
