Besiktas take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League Last 16 second-leg tie hoping to become the first Turkish side to beat the German giants in the competition.
The Black Eagles are pretty much out of the tie and playing for pride as they lost the first leg by a 5-0 scoreline at the Allianz Arena.
Benfica loanee Anderson Talisca is set to start for the Istanbul giants.
The 24-year-old already has four goals in the competition, the joint highest scorer for Besiktas alongside Cenk Tosun – who left for Everton in January.
Talisca’s display could be on particular interest to Manchester United who are prepared to offer €40 million for the attacking midfielder according to A Bola.
Jose Mourinho has reportedly put a ‘reserve’ on the 1.91m star who was recently called up to the Brazil national team.
Talisca has a total of 16 goals and four assists in all competitions this season.
