For the second leg it is back north again for Tom as he heads to the German capital, Berlin, where he will commentate the match between local side Füchse and Spanish club BM Atlético Madrid.

The exciting win against FC Barcelona Intersport in front of more than 13,000 spectators in Round 8 of the group phase will still be fresh on the Berlin players' minds when they take on the next Spanish opponent.
