The UEFA Champions League returns in February with the first leg of the round of 16. In this stage, each of the remaining 16 teams plays another team twice, with the team that scores the most overall goals progressing to the quarter-finals.
We’ve already lost plenty of teams in the Champions League group stages. Since there are now only premium-tier teams left in the competition, the round of 16 will produce some amazing match-ups, including RB Leipzig v Liverpool.
Liverpool has performed pretty well in the group stages. Most of their matches have been convincing victories including a stunning 5-0 win over Serie A team Atalanta. They are currently at the top of Group D, sitting on 4-1-1, with 13 points overall.
RB Leipzig has had a similar record. They got revenge on Manchester United with a 3-2 victory on December 8th after their 5-0 loss, and have had two very close matches with French side PSG too. Currently, RB Leipzig is tied with PSG for first place in Group H on 6-0-2, with 12 points overall.
With both teams performing at similar levels, who will have the edge when they face off?
How to watch RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool anywhere in the world
If you’re not going to be home but still want to catch Leipzig vs Liverpool, your best bet will be to tune in with a VPN.
A Virtual Private Network lets you divert your network data through a server located in another country of your choice. This makes it look like your computer is in a different country, so you can access region-locked content. So, if you normally watch sports in the States but you’ve found yourself somewhere else, it looks like your computer is still in the US.
The one caveat is that you need to be able to trust your VPN of choice is handling your data securely. That's because all your network traffic —whether encrypted or not—is being handled by a third party. We recommend for exactly this reason.
