Real Madrid vs Juventus live stream: Watch Champions League football online (Game preview)

Real Madrid will play Juventus in the Champions League Semi Finals First Leg on Tuesday night in what should be an intriguing match up between two of Europe's best teams.

The game is scheduled to start at 7.45 p.m. BST (2.45 p.m. ET) and can be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.

Real Madrid are just 180 minutes away from the final and the chance to become the first team to successfully defend Europe's top football competition in the Champions League era.

However, if they are to win through, they will have to get the job done in the first leg without French forward Karim Benzema. The 27-year-old has scored 22 goals this season so far, but is currently out with a knee injury.

Meanwhile, Gareth Bale is set to make his way back into the starting line up. He featured for Real in Saturday's win over Sevilla and is thought to be back to full match fitness after his calf injury.

Andrea Pirlo has said ahead of the game: "The first leg is crucial. We'll need to play with intelligence. We'll be mindful but also show some swagger, because we have a dream to fulfill and nothing to lose."

Today's first leg takes place in Italy at the Juventus Stadium, where the Italian giants are unbeaten in 12 European matches. The impressive Italians have lost just once in their 17 games at the stadium since its redevelopment, and will be confident coming into this tie.

Juventus will be desperate to claim some sort of advantage over Real to take with them on the return leg in Spain. However, Real have not conceded a goal away from home in this year's Champions League for 444 minutes. Also the Spanish team have not won a game in Italy on their last seven visits, giving this tie an intriguing edge.

Today's massive Champions League semi-final first leg between Juventus and Real Madrid will start at 7.45 p.m. BST (2.45 p.m. ET) and can be watched online through live stream by clicking here.
