Real Madrid v Chelsea live stream, BT Sport, Tuesday 12 April, 8pm BST

Chelsea will be looking to overturn a two-goal deficit when they take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday.

A Karim Benzema hat-trick at Stamford Bridge leaves Madrid in pole position to advance to the last four at the expense of the defending champions. The France international scored two brilliant headers in the first half of last week's match, before completing his treble shortly after half-time.

Benzema was undoubtedly the star of the show last time out, but Madrid did a good job in general of holding Chelsea at arm's length. Their defensive structure was solid throughout, making it difficult for the Blues to play through them. It was a fantastic result for los Blancos, who will now fancy their chances of reaching the semis.

Chelsea are not out of the tie yet, though. They will travel to Spain with renewed confidence after thrashing Southampton 6-0 at the weekend. That marked a decisive return to form for Thomas Tuchel's side, who had lost at home to Brentford a few days before the defeat by Madrid. 

Chelsea will look to get on the front foot from the first whistle on Tuesday. If they were to score early, Madrid could get anxious. There is also a chance that the home team will not know whether to protect their lead or look to increase it. Madrid are the clear favourites but Chelsea should not be written off.

Romelu Lukaku has been left out of their travelling party due to injury, while Ben Chilwell, Ross Barkley and Callum Hudson-Odoi will also miss out. In better news for the Blues, Cesar Azpilicueta is available after illness.

Madrid will have to make do without Eder Militao due to suspension. Luka Jovic, Isco and Eden Hazard are all injured, while Toni Kroos and Luka Modric will return to the starting XI after being rested at the weekend.

Kick-off is at 8pm BST and the game is being shown live on BT Sport 2 in the UK.

Use a VPN to watch a Real Madrid v Chelsea live stream from outside your country

If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal stream that decides to buffer at the worst possible moment. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below). 

All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.

There are plenty of options out there, including:
