Champions League schedule, storylines, everything you need to know: How to watch, live stream on Paramount+

storylines
1. For Barca, it’s about everything and everyone
The pressure on mighty Barcelona. Having picked up just one point in two games against Inter Milan, they are in serious trouble. If Inter beat Viktoria Pilsen in the early game on Wednesday, Xavi’s men will be out. They need Inter to drop points and show up and get something from mighty Bayern Munich. Even a draw against Bayern is unlikely to be enough to stay in contention.
2. Juve’s UCL lives are at stake
Another giant of Europe on the way out, Juve have stumbled so many times this season. The last example was the defeat at Maccabi Haifa on Matchday 4. This, combined with Benfica’s form, means that Juve need to beat Benfica to have any chance. If there is a draw, they are eliminated. In fact, you just have to win to even stand a chance. Considering that they are 1-0-3 in the group stage and have yet to face PSG a second time, it doesn’t look promising.
3. Fancy a trip to Brooklyn?
The Champions League Today crew travel to the United States on Matchday 5 for two days of fun and you’re invited to see the best of the best in football on the big screen. Destination Brooklyn is the event to test the best UCL games that Paramount+ has to offer in an exclusive viewer party against the scenic backdrop of New York City.
