Today's Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid live stream sees the bitter rivals renew hostilities as the home side look to overhaul a one-goal deficit and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Below we have all the information on how to watch Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid from anywhere, with details on TV channels, broadcasters and live streams.

Despite succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at the Bernebeu, last week, Atletico Madrid will feel they are very much in this tie and will be confident of turning things around at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Diego Simeone’s side have the best home record in La Liga this season and possess plenty of attacking talent. However, they come into the game on the back of a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Getafe that saw them drop to third in the league table.

Real Madrid may have lost three games in the group stage and needed the play-offs to reach the last-16, but they know exactly what it takes to win this competition. Carlo Ancelotti’s side produced two pieces of individual brilliance to secure the 2-1 win in the first leg and have the firepower to overcome even the most well-drilled defense. That proved to be the case again at the weekend as Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius helped Madrid secure a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.

A quarter-final against Arsenal awaits (unless PSV can come back from a 7-1 loss tonight) the winner of this tie. Will it be the defending champions who advance or can Atletico get the better of their bitter rivals? Tune in to find out.
