That's basically what happened. Bayern Munich won 3-1. Muller became a self-fulfilling prophecy when he found Thiago with a perfect cross to open the scoring.

And after that the game coasted to an inevitable sleepy conclusion JUST KIDDING CAT ON THE FIELD THERE IS A CAT ON THE FIELD.

Besiktas gained some sort of magic power from the cat and were able to score a goal.
