Is Atletico vs Real Madrid on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Champions League

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid renew their rivalry in the Champions League, with the holders taking a 2-1 lead into tonight’s last-16 second leg at the Metropolitano.

Braham Diaz’s goal settled last week’s first leg at the Bernabeu, after Julian Alvarez had cancelled out Rodrygo’s opener in what was a largely scrappy Madrid derby.

Diego Simeone’s Atletico suffered a potentially damaging 2-1 defeat at Getafe at the weekend, which allowed Carlo Ancelotti’s team to go above them into second with a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Arsenal fans may be among the keen observes ahead of what is a fascinating tie, with the Gunners set to face the winners after taking a 7-1 lead into their second leg against PSV.

Here’s everything you need to know.
