Turkey's Besiktas have been paired with Germany's Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League's Round of 16 draw.

Held in the Swiss city of Nyon on Monday afternoon, the draw saw 16 clubs paired with each other in Round of 16 clashes.

Besiktas will take on Bayern in Germany in the first leg of the tie on Tuesday, February 20 in Munich's Allianz Arena.

The second leg of the tie will be in Istanbul's Vodafone Park on Wednesday, March 14.

Bayern Munich shared a number of posts via Twitter, including a photo of the German club's striker Robert Lewandowski, saying "#CometoBesiktas".

The German giants were referring to a popular hashtag on Twitter in which Besiktas announced their transfers during the summer window.

In response, Besiktas shared a tweet mentioning Bayern Munich.

"Ask us to Timo Werner" the Istanbul side wrote in English on their Twitter account, referring to the first game of the group stage with RB Leipzig in September which saw Leipzig striker Timo Werner asking to be subbed off after feeling dizzy, apparently because of the thunderous cheer by Besiktas' vibrant fans at Vodafone Park stadium. 

Here are the full draws: 

Tottenham - Juventus 

Basel - Manchester City

Porto - Liverpool

Shakhtar Donetsk - Roma

Chelsea - Barcelona

Besiktas - Bayern Munich
