How to watch Real Madrid vs Benfica: TV channel and live stream for Champions League today

Los Blancos travelled to Portugal for the first leg last week and came away with a 1-0 win, giving them the upper hand ahead of this second-leg tie, though they will know the job is far from finished.

The first leg was a controversial affair, as match-winner Vinicius Jr accused Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni of racial abuse.

Real will be fighting something of an uphill battle at the Bernabeu as injuries take their toll on Alvaro Arbeloa’s squad.

Elsewhere, winger Rodrygo is suspended after he was sent off during last month’s league phase.

Making matters worse for Real, they were beaten last time out, losing 2-1 to Osasuna and giving up top spot in La Liga in the process.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports 1, with coverage starting at 7pm GMT ahead of an 8pm kick-off.
