Bayern Munich will at least be in the Champions League qualifying stages next season, thanks to an 8-1 rout of St. Pauli coupled with Hannover 96’s loss away to Stuttgart. These results mean that Bayern is locked into a top three position in the Bundesliga, assuring them a chance at Champions League next season. The Bayern attack put on an absolute master class, tearing apart St. Pauli’s disorganized defense. As another byproduct of this result, St. Pauli have been relegated to the 2. Bundesliga.
St. Pauli Vs. Bayern Munich: Full Time, Bavarians Win 8-1, Take Third Place
Mario Gomez scored a hat trick, taking him to 27 goals on the season, which he has scored in just 26 Bundesliga starts. Franck Ribery was also brilliant, netting a brace, and Arjen Robben was magnificent, scoring twice and providing three assists. It was an emphatic way for Bayern to assert their Champions League status, and the neutrals of the world will probably find the competition a much more entertaining prospect with the presence of the Bavarian giants.
