Last year, Tottenham Hotspur finished fourth in the English Premier League -- thereby breaking the long monopoly of Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool on England's spots in the European Champions' League. But as the fourth-place team, Spurs have to survive a two-leg match against the wonderfully named "Young Boys" of Bern, Switzerland in order to reach the group stages.
In the first leg, played in Bern, the Young Boys stunned Spurs, jumping out to a 3-0 lead after only 28 minutes. Spurs subsequently fought back with two goals of its own, and the first leg ended with a 3-2 victory for the Young Boys.
Today the teams will be in London for the second leg. Spurs have to win; a draw would send the Young Boys through on aggregate goal difference. Should be an exciting game.
