Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes Champions League qualification should be viewed as a bonus rather than a given. Spurs fans may have enjoyed a remarkable debut season in the Champions League, but a top four finish for a repeat performance is far from certain.
Redknapp realises that expectations have increased wildly since he dragged them off the foot of the table three years ago.
"Getting in that top four is a bonus," Redknapp said.
"Every year the same four teams got into the Champions League apart from the one year that Everton broke in and then we broke in ahead of Liverpool.
"Now, suddenly, there's Man City and they want to be in there every year too. Getting in the top four is going to be harder and harder every season."
"We're in a position where we still have a chance," he added.
"It's going to be tight but we have to keep going. We have the tougher run-in than Man City but it's a good end to the season, it's something we're looking forward to, we're fighting to achieve something, that's all you can ask."
