Watch from anywhere with a VPN
Not at home for the Aston Villa vs Celtic kick-off? Sadly, your usual streaming services won't work abroad.
Fear not, there is a good option that doesn’t involve risking a dodgy stream. All you need is a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which provides you with an IP address to give the impression your device is in another country.
Assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to create a private connection, access your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world, and soak in all the Champions League action.
FourFourTwo’s friends at TechRadar are experts in this field, and they are big fans of NordVPN.

Aston Villa vs Celtic preview
Aston Villa meet Celtic in an all-British clash that should be one of the standout games of the final Champions League league phase matchday.
Defeat in Monaco last time out could prove to be damaging for Villa, who are agonisingly close to the top eight, which they have occupied for most of the campaign so far.
Unai Emery's side are level on points with eight-placed Bayer Leverkusen, who have a superior goal difference. But there are several other clubs on 13 points - Monaco, Feyenoord, Lille and Brest - all of whom will have aspirations of automatic qualification for the knockout stages.
If Villa don't beat Celtic, they will likely have to settle for the play-offs. The Scottish champions have themselves guaranteed a play-off spot after a 1-0 win over Young Boys last week, and they will head to Birmingham relatively relaxed.
Brendan Rodgers' team could still, theoretically, finish in the top eight with a win at Villa Park, but they would need an unlikely sequence of results for that to happen.
