The visitors stood firm in the early stages but never recovered from Domagoj Vida's 16th-minute dismissal. It was not until just before half-time, though, that Bayern broke the deadlock thanks to Thomas Müller's close-range finish.

Kingsley Coman swept in early in the second half before Müller again showed his predatory instincts to make it 3-0. Robert Lewandowski got in on the act with two late goals to leave Beşiktaş in need of a record comeback in Istanbul on 14 March.

Key player: Thomas Müller

Few players have benefitted as much from Jupp Heynckes' return as much as Müller. Often sidelined under Carlo Ancelotti, the Bavarian-born forward is enjoying his football at his boyhood club again and is a crucial component of this team. Tonight, he repaid the faith shown in him by scoring two important goals and assisting another in a victory that all but carries his team into the last eight.

Reporter talking points

Jordan Maciel, Bayern: What looked a testing assignment on paper turned into a straightforward evening for the home side, Bayern increasingly asserting their authority over their opponents as time wore on. The German champions are relentless in Munich in this competition, gladly making the most of the opportunity presented to them after Vida was shown a red card.

Cetin Cem Yilmaz, Beşiktaş: Şenol Güneş had described this as "a test against one of Europe's best". The Turkish champions did not pass, though Vida's dismissal played a big part and let it not be forgotten that their first-half display was largely encouraging. There are lessons to be learned here.
