Coach Pep Guardiola will be hoping his Man City side can move a step closer to an elusive UEFA Champions League title, as they host Spanish giants Real Madrid for the second leg of this titanic semifinal matchup.

Kevin de Bruyne’s long-range strike in the second half canceled out Vinicius Júnior’s similar earlier goal to earn City a draw in last week’s first leg at the Bernabéu. City dominated much of that match in what proved a tense affair, with Real keeper Thibaut Courtois needing to be at his best to deny chances from De Bruyne, Rodri and Erling Haaland.

Tonight’s hosts are now unbeaten in 21 games across all competitions. Having all but wrapped up the English Premier League with their win over Leeds at the weekend, they will be determined to keep their dream of an historic treble on track with a memorable win at home in this huge clash. The winners will face Inter Milan in the final, after the Nerrazzurri comprehensively defeated local rivals AC Milan in the other semifinal last night.

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

Man City vs. Real Madrid: When and where?

Man City host Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, May 17. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. BST local time in the UK (3 p.m. ET, 12 p.m. PT in the US, and 5 a.m. AEST on Thursday, May 18 in Australia). The final will be played in Istanbul on June 10.

How to watch the Man City vs. Real Madrid game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the Champions League using a VPN

• With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Champions League matches may vary.
• If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
• If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
• And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.

It’s official. After months of rumors, Google launched its first foldable phone at its developer conference last Wednesday in the latest sign the tech giant appears to be taking its hardware business seriously.

The Pixel Fold, which features a book-style design, starts at $1,799 — the same price as its biggest rival the Galaxy Z Fold 4 phone. It’ll also go up against competing products from Chinese phone makers like Huawei’s Mate X3 and Oppo’s Find N2 in international markets. Despite the increase in offerings, foldable phones still comprise a small segment of the overall smartphone category (an estimated 1.2% according to IDC). It’s dominated by Samsung, which captured 62% of the market in the first half of 2022 with Z Fold phones, according to Counterpoint Research.

Display and design

Similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the Pixel Fold morphs from a phone when closed into a tablet when opened. The inner display takes the form of a 7.6-inch OLED panel, while the cover display is a high-res 5.8-inch display. Compared to the Z Fold 4, the Pixel Fold appears to be a more pocket-friendly device since it’s shorter (by just over half an inch) and shouldn’t stick out as much. That said, the Pixel Fold is also heavier (by roughly 20 grams) and nearly half an inch wider. With the wider display, Google’s aiming to offer a comparable experience to a regular phone, albeit a shorter one, when using the cover display. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 has a narrower external display in comparison, which can make it a little awkward to use when on phone mode, although it has widened since 2021’s Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Camera

Like the Z Fold 4, the Pixel Fold features a grand total of five cameras. Three on the rear, taking the form of a 48-megapixel main camera, a 10.8-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 10.8-megapixel telephoto camera capable of 5x optical zoom and up to 20x digital zoom; one on the front, which is a 9.5-megapixel camera; and finally an 8-megapixel camera on the inner screen. For more details on how it stacks up against the Galaxy Z Fold 4 on paper, scroll down to our specs chart below. It’s worth noting that this isn’t the most advanced camera system on a Google flagship phone (that honor goes to the thicker Pixel 7 Pro), since Google was forced to make some compromises to accommodate the lean folding design.

Battery

Google says its Pixel Fold, which runs on a 4,821-mAh battery, can last beyond 24 hours based on a median Pixel user battery usage profile. More specifically, Google says its internal tests showed battery life was approximately 33 hours using default settings. Of course, this is just what’s on paper, and I’d recommend reading our Pixel Fold review to find out for sure whether that turns out to be the case. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 has a 4,400-mAh battery, and CNET’s review puts its battery life at about a full day.

It’s no secret that Apple computers tend to be expensive. But you can sometimes find some deals if you shop around. If you don’t mind open-box or refurbished products, Woot has a plethora of Apple iMacs and Mac Minis available — including some with M1 chips — at cheaper prices than you’d pay for a brand-new model. If you’re looking for a good-quality, long-lasting laptop, Apple MacBooks are hard to beat, but finding a good MacBook deal isn’t always easy since Apple rarely offers discounts on its products directly. This offer is available now through May 20, while supplies last.

Right now you can snag an open-box 2021 iMac in new condition for $1,030. This monitor and computer all-in-one is a convenient desktop option. It comes equipped with Apple’s M1 chip with 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU and it has a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. It also has a 1080p camera, a three-mic array and a six-speaker sound system. However, if you don’t necessarily need the power of an 8-core GPU, you can grab this version with 7-core GPU starting at $880. There are also refurbished versions available starting at $840.

And if you prefer Apple’s Mac Mini for something small and portable, check out this grade-A refurbished model with an Apple M1 chip, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage. It’s available for just $420 right now. (Just note that you will need to buy your own monitor.)

You can see Woot’s guide here to learn more about its refurbished and open-box products so you know what to expect. And every item in the sale comes with a 90-day Woot limited warranty, just in case. Be sure to shop the entire sale selection at Woot to check out the other models available, though keep in mind that older models may not deliver the performance you need for more creative tasks.

And whether you’re looking to replace the one you have, or add a second screen to your home office for a serious productivity boost, you’ll find tons of great options for less at Amazon. The online retailer is currently offering up to 37% off select Samsung monitors, with prices starting at just $95.

Or for $140, $50 off, you can upgrade to the CF396. It’s a sleek 23.5-inch curved LED monitor with support for AMD FreeSync and a fast 4-millisecond response time.

There are plenty of more advanced monitors available if you’re willing to spend a little more as well. The Samsung Odyssey G51C is a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor that was released just this year, and features HDR10 support, a 165Hz refresh rate and a stand that allows you to adjust the height, tilt and swivel. It’s on sale for $270, which saves you $80 compared to the usual price. There are also a few smart monitors on sale, which can connect to Wi-Fi and run basic apps without being connected to a PC. This 27-inch M50B smart monitor boats a full HD display, a built-in webcam and AirPlay integration, and is on sale for $205, which is $75 off the usual price.
