Coach Pep Guardiola and sporting director Matthias Sammer have some work to do ahead of the new season to ensure Bayern can challenge for the Champions League.
Bayern Munich, the domestic double winner in 2014, won "only" the Bundesliga title last season and, following a chastening Champions League semifinal defeat to eventual winners Barcelona, there has been an inquest into this squad's suitability for a triple title chase.
Yet it was run of injuries on an unprecedented scale that meant Bayern was caught short right at the season's most critical juncture. At full strength, the German record champions remain a match for any team in Europe, Barca included, but facing Messi, Suarez and Neymar without their own star names put a distance between Barca and what Bayern could muster over two legs.
