Bayern see both sides of Beşiktaş demolition
"The key to our success was the red card and the goal just before the break," said coach Jupp Heynckes after his "nervous" Bayern side beat Beşiktaş 5-0 to all but book their UEFA Champions League quarter-final spot.Domagoj Vida's 16th-minute dismissal did not provoke an immediate collapse from the round of 16 debutants, and Heynckes was less than thrilled with his team until Thomas Müller put them ahead on 43 minutes. "In the first half we lacked tempo, our passing wasn't precise enough and it allowed Beşiktaş to play," he said, adding that Bayern "were a different team in the second half".

How Beşiktaş held their nerve to go through
Beşiktaş have experienced too many European nights on which they squandered one, two, even three-goal leads. This was not one of them.Leading 2-1 when opening goalscorer Vincent Aboubakar was dismissed on 39 minutes, they may have feared that Olympiacos 2016/17 would become the latest surrender for the list.
