Hello! This match may feel like this evening's bridesmaid but sometimes, of course, the bridesmaid is prettier than the bride. If you get me. Anyway, the teams are in! Bayern Munich: Ulreich; Kimmich, Hummels, Boateng, Alaba; Martinez, Vidal; Coman, James, Muller; Lewandowski. Subs: Starke, Wagner, Sule, Ribery, Robben, Rafinha, Tolisso. Besiktas: Fabri; Adriano, Pepe, Vida, Erkin; Hutchinson, Medel; Quaresma, Anderson Talisca, Babel; Vagner Love. Subs: Zengin, Tosic, Negredo, Ozyakup, Lens, Arslan, Gonul. Bench for Ribery and Robben then but if you're in the market for some nostaligia Pepe, Quaresma, Ryan Babel and Wagner Love start for Besiktas, the oldest team left in the competition.

That's all from me.
A superb contest in the first half and a superb example of ruthless finishing in the second leaves Bayern with one foot (well, one-and-a-half) in the Champions League quarterfinal.
Thanks for reading.

PEEEEP PEEEEEP!
There's some late drama as Tosic, the sub, is booked for clashing with Ulriech after the whistle.
But that was the Bayern goalkeeper's only involvement in a one-sided second half in which the hosts scored four times to put this tie to bed.
90'
A defiant late run from Babel earns Besiktas a dangerous looking freekick. Quaresma, who will look back on that chance in the first half, bends it straight into Ulriech's arms. And that's that!

Two minutes stoppage time. Two minutes more pain for Besiktas, who have been unceremoniously dumped out of the Champions League tonight.

GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!
They're not done! It's five! Thomas Muller, on a hat-trick, runs onto Robben's cute pass and could easily shoot himself. Instead, he unselfishly puts it on a plate for Lewandowski to tap in his second at the back post. An absolute hammering now.
86'
Big chance for a fifth as Martinez ends a fine move with a stinging low shot that Fabri turns around the far post. He loves a one-handed save.
Bayern may not be done yet.
84'
Tolgay Arslan, a German-born former Hamburg player, replaces Medel in Besiktas' final change.
82'
Third and final change for Bayern, as Corentin Tolisso gets a run out in place of Vidal. Job done for the Chilean, who has earned the bragging rights over his equally hardcore compatriot Gary Medel.

Things could yet get worse for Besiktas as Ribery replaces the excellent Coman for the final 10'.

GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL!
Lewy deserves one for his performance tonight. The striker turns home from close range after Mats Hummels' 25-yard path is parried into his path by Fabri.
It was actually a fine one-handed save by the goalkeeper. That's surely the tie done and dusted.
77'
Bayern playing keep-ball now.
74'
Talisca gets a shot off on his weaker right foot but he slips just before impact and it sails harmlessly over the bar. That's the only sniff Besiktas have had of an away goal since half-time, which says everything.
69'
More great work from Coman, who sprints down the left flank and crosses for Muller to head onto the roof of the net. He's on a hat-trick now, of course.

Gokhan Gonul, 33, replaces Erkin, pushing Besiktas' average age up even higher. Besiktas keen to shore up the sinking ship for the final 20 minutes.
67'
Jupp Heynckes has undoubtedly got the big calls right tonight.
No legends Robben or Ribery in the starting XI but Muller and Kingsley Coman have made the difference.

GOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL!
Just when the intensity appeared to have dropped, Muller makes it 3-0! The German volleys home from close range from Kimmich's cross after good work from Robben. That's the game and surely the tie, too.
