What channel is Champions League football on tonight? How to watch on TV in UK

With Chelsea now out of the picture in the Premier League - not to mention all the turmoil going on behind the scenes at the club - the Blues will hope to make a statement tonight in their Champions League knockout clash with Real Madrid in a season-defining tie.

In the night's other tie, Bayern Munich will travel to Villarreal, who surprisingly knocked out Juventus after beating them 3-0 in Turin. The winner of Chelsea's two-legged quarter final clash against Real will go on to face Manchester City or Atletico, whilst the winner of Bayern-Villarreal will face Liverpool or Benfica.

Both Manchester City and Liverpool will go into their second tie with the advantage after winning their first legs on Tuesday. City dominated the La Liga champions throughout the game, but came away with just the one goal lead, courtesy of a Kevin de Bruyne goal - with the Citizens having a tough tie travelling to Atletico for the second leg next week.

The next set of first leg quarter-final matches take place tonight. Here's how you can watch both games.
