BERLIN, May 7 (Reuters) - Mario Gomez hit a hat-trick as Bayern Munich sealed a spot in next season's Champions League qualifying round with an 8-1 rout of St Pauli on Saturday which sent the Bundesliga's bottom club back to the second division.
Bundesliga top scorer Gomez took his league goal tally to 27 and Franck Ribery scored twice as Bayern moved up to 62 points, three behind second-placed Bayer Leverkusen who drew 1-1 against Hamburg SV.
Bayern can still finish second to book an automatic group stage spot with a win next week if Leverkusen lose, due to a far better goal difference.
The top two Bundesliga teams gain automatic qualification for the Champions League group stage while the third team will play a qualifying round.
Fourth-placed Hanover 96 will have to settle for a Europa League spot after losing 2-1 at VfB Stuttgart to drop five points behind Bayern. Mainz 05 will also play in Europe, clinching fifth place with a fine 3-1 win at Schalke 04.
Champions Borussia Dortmund, who secured the title last week, sobered up with a 2-0 defeat to Werder Bremen, who made sure of their Bundesliga spot for next season after climbing to safety and 12th place on 41 points.
Borussia Moenchengladbach scored twice in the final minutes to beat Freiburg by the same score for their third straight win and keep their hopes of staying up alive after moving into the relegation playoff spot.
