Manchester City have drawn the mighty Real Madrid for their first-ever Champions League semifinal, and they host Los Blancos in the first leg today at the Etihad. Real Madrid have won seven of eight matches since reversing fortunes with Barcelona last month, with the only loss being the inconsequential first leg at Wolfsburg. So Madrid has lost on the road, but it hasn’t happened lately against English clubs. They’re unbeaten in their last eight Champions League matches against English Clubs, last falling to Liverpool in 2009.
If you’re looking for a live stream of today’s Champions League action, there are a handful of ways to watch online, regardless of whether you have cable.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET, and it will be broadcast on Fox Sports in the US and BT Sport in the UK. If you can’t get to a TV, here’s a complete roundup of the available live stream options:
