Real Madrid v Manchester City live stream, Wednesday 4 May, 8pm BST, BT Sport
Looking for a Real Madrid v Manchester City live stream? We’ve got you covered with our handy guide.
Thrills are expected when Manchester City travel to the Bernabeu to face newly-crowned Spanish champions Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, after an astonishing first leg last week.
Pep Guardiola’s side came out on top at the Etihad in a 4-3 win, but felt they should’ve won by a larger margin against a Merengues side that refused to go away.
Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus struck inside the opening 11 minutes to put City in the driving seat, but the in-form Karim Benzema pulled one back before half time with a deft finish.
Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva then found the net either side of a Vinicius Junior goal, before Benzema’s cool Panenka-style penalty made it a one-goal game with eight minutes remaining.
City could live to regret their failure to put the tie to bed in a match they dominated for large stretches, as the Bernabeu will be rocking on Wednesday night.
Benzema has been in scintillating form this season, scoring hat-tricks against PSG and Chelsea during Real’s previous two knockout round successes, and he was on the scoresheet again as Madrid beat Espanyol 4-0 to clinch the La Liga title on Saturday.
The Spanish crown was sealed with four league games to spare, allowing Carlo Ancelotti’s men to direct all their focus towards their European campaign.
But City believe this is their time after a superb season at home and abroad, and they warmed up for the trip to Madrid with a 4-0 thrashing of Leeds.
Guardiola’s side have won their last four games in a row in all competitions, scoring 16 goals, and have their sights firmly set on a first-ever Champions League crown.

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 Premier 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.
