Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid features two sides from the Spanish capital looking to take a step towards the Champions League quarterfinals. Here's our guide to how to watch Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid live streams from anywhere.

Real Madrid required a playoff to reach this stage of the competition after finishing all the way down in 11th, but they made pretty light work of Man City to get here. Carlo Ancelotti's side put six goals past the Premier League champions across the two legs, including a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick at the Bernabeu, to set up this high-stakes local derby.

Atletico qualified automatically by finishing fifth. Their form in La Liga this season has also made it a three-horse title race. The last three meetings between these two sides have ended in draws, so don't be surprised if it's still all to play for in the return leg.

Here's where to watch Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid live streams online from anywhere.
