How to watch Champions League fixtures live on TV and highlights
All the details on how to watch Champions League fixtures live on TV and highlights throughout the 2021/22 season.
The Champions League semi-finals draw to a close this week with two show-stopping encounters between some of Europe's heavyweights, rising pretenders and almighty underdogs.
Liverpool and Real Madrid boast a combined 19 European Cup and Champions League trophies, while Manchester City have earned a place at Europe's top table through domestic greatness but there's a feeling they must secure a European trophy in order to remain there.
And that leaves Villarreal, the champions of the people, the one team left in the competition who weren't involved in the European Super League plot. The plucky underdogs will be backed by 23,500 fans on home soil – that's almost half the population of the town they hail from.
The knockout rounds have provided some of the biggest moments in world football over the last few years and full stands of crowds will only add to the spectacle of football heavyweights locking horns across the continent.
Fans across the world will be able to tune in for more live games than their TV setups can handle as the Champions League returns to heat up the late stages of the 2021/22 season.
RadioTimes.com brings you the complete guide on how to watch Champions League fixtures, including every game you can watch live in the UK and highlights. We'll keep you updated throughout the whole season.
