Berlin: Bayern Munich's star-studded squad is set for a shake-up following their Champions League semi-final defeat to Barcelona as Pep Guardiola prepares to fulfil the final year of his contract. Having lost the first-leg 3-0 in Barcelona, Bayern delivered on their pre-match promise to fight until the final whistle in Tuesday's return leg at the Allianz Arena to beat Barca 3-2 on the night, but ultimately bowed out 5-3 on aggregate.

It is scant consolation for Guardiola that the victory ended Bayern's four-match losing streak which eventually led to them exiting both the Champions League and German Cup at the semi-final stage. Injuries to wingers Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery had robbed Guardiola of pace and width when it was needed most and the squad was reduced to bare bones by ailments and knocks on occasion.
