In one of the most interesting groups this season, Besiktas managed to top with 14 points which included the likes of Leipzig, Monaco and Porto. The Turkish giants have been brilliant going forward with the strike force of Cenk Tosun and Alvaro Negredo wrecking havoc for the opposition.
But their opponents in the knockout stage will be a hell lot tougher than any of the sides they have faced this season. Bayern Munich qualified with ease but a brutal loss to PSG made the Bavarians change their manager. They are one of the regulars to reach the final four in Europe and this season is expected to be no different. But an over-reliance on Robert Lewandowski may hurt their cause in winning their sixth European title.
Predicted winners: Bayern Munich
Head to Head: The first competitive meeting between the two sides.
