I want to know the answer to the following question:
Which team was denied entry into the Champions League in 2012 due to being bumped out of the running by the defending champion?
All the background I'm provided with is that "This occurred in 2012, when Chelsea – who had won the Champions League the previous year, but finished sixth in the league – qualified for the Champions League in place of Tottenham Hotspur, who went into the Europa League.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
