Manchester City will take on Real Madrid in the Champions League for the third year in a row in yet another tasty European clash. The reigning champions were one of several top clubs who struggled in the competition's new format, alongside City, as both sides failed to finish in the top eight with those clubs securing their instant passage into the Round of 16. Their shoddy showing in the group stage of the Champions League means they now meet each other in the knockout stages for the third year in a row and the fifth time in six years on Tuesday. Fresh off their 2-1 win over Leyton Orient in the FA Cup fourth round, it wouldn't have done much to bolster the confidence of the champions heading into a clash with the Spanish giants.
With the winners of this tie going on to face either Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen, the tough fixtures won't let up in Europe's premier competition. With the first leg in Manchester not being shown on the usual broadcaster of Champions League fixtures in the UK, TNT Sports, Mirror Football has the low-down on how you can watch the action. Manchester City vs Real Madrid is scheduled for an 8pm kick-off time on Tuesday with coverage on Amazon Prime set to begin at 6.30pm.
While most Champions League action is shown on TNT, City's clash against Madrid is one of 17 UCL games broadcasted on Amazon Prime. Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney will join the punditry team at the Etihad Stadium where'll he make his on-screen debut for the global streaming service. Football fans can watch the entertaining fixture exclusive in the UK on Amazon Prime. New customers signing up to Amazon can get a 30-day free trial which will allow them to watch City host Madrid for free.
Subscribers will also have the option to watch on a live stream via the Amazon Prime website and app. Another benefit for signing up for a subscription is that Prime Video customers based in the UK are able to access all the other Champions League games from TNT Sports. This is due to it being included in the premium tier of the Discovery+ subscription service for an additional £30.99 fee per month.
