Manchester City breezed past Sporting CP in the last round with a 5-0 aggregate win, but Atleti won’t make it easy for Pep Guardiola’s side. The Premier League leaders have only lost one game since going down 2-1 away to RB Leipzig in the group stages, but if there’s one team that knows how to frustrate a finely-tuned footballing machine, it’s Simeone’s stubborn Colchoneros.
Atlético Madrid have never won consecutive away games against English opponents, but the defending La Liga champions have hit form at just the right time, winning six in a row and not tasting defeat since losing at home to Levante in February. Atleti haven’t made it past this stage of the competition since 2016-17 and City have succumbed in the quarters in three of the past four seasons. Is the writing on the wall?
It’s an 8pm GMT kick-off at the Etihad tonightm, Tuesday 5th April 2022. Read on for more details on how to watch a Manchester City vs Atlético Madrid live stream wherever you are in the world.
- Our pick of the best VPN deals

Watch a Man City vs Atlético Madrid live stream from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Man City vs Atlético Madrid live stream rights holders, you won’t be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN(opens in new tab) which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you’re not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN(opens in new tab) is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the Champions League, you may wish to choose ‘USA’ for Paramount +.
3. Then head over to Paramount+(opens in new tab) on your browser or device and enjoy the Man City vs Atlético Madrid live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can’t get it working, then do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN(opens in new tab). You could also try NordVPN(opens in new tab), which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark(opens in new tab) which offers 24 hour assistance.
