Looking for an Atletico Madrid vs Club Brugge live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
Atletico Madrid and Club Brugge meet at the Wanda Metropolitano, with the hosts chasing their first Champions League win since Matchday 1 and the visitors looking to maintain their 100% record in Group B.
Despite 2-0 defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Brugge in their last two group games, Atleti are still well in contention to reach the round of 16 – but they really need to get back on track this evening. It's been an inconsistent early season for Diego Simeone's men, who've lost three of their last five matches in all competitions. They've also won just one of their previous nine Champions League home outings.
Belgian champions Brugge, meanwhile, have been the surprise package of the 2022/23 Champions League so far. A fourth group victory from four will see Carl Hoefkens' side advance to the knockout rounds for the very first time. Only once before have a Belgian team recorded four straight wins in the competition: Anderlecht back in 2000.
Team news
Atleti remain without the injured Sergio Reguillon, Marcos Llorente and Felipe for this one.
Brugge also have three players sidelined: Dedryck Boyata, Mats Rits and Owen Otasowie.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
