How to stream the game from anywhere
If you aren’t sure if you can access BT Sport where you are, then the best way to get around your issues might be a VPN. That’s because access to normal coverage might be geo-blocked – that is, you are prevented from watching outside your home country, usually due to rights reasons.
VPNs encrypt and anonymise your data and enable you to appear as if you are watching from your home country, so they are useful for much more than entertainment.

Napoli vs Barcelona match preview
Table topping Barcelona head to Naples tonight, fresh from a 5-0 home win over Eibar. They will hope to take some of that goal-scoring momentum into tonight’s match and bag some — potentially tie-defining — away goals.
Napoli are also heading into this fixture on fine form, having won three on the bounce, in all competitions. That run includes a 1-0 away win against in-form Inter at the San Siro.
Gennaro Gattuso took the manager’s chair at Napoli back in December, losing his first game and suffering several losses in early January. Now, his team has finally found its stride again, seemingly, and could pose a challenge for Barca.
The Italians will likely be looking to Dries Mertens, who has been a club figurehead in European competition. The Belgian has been directly involved in 50% of the club’s Champions League goals.
Meanwhile, the Catalonians will be trying to put off-field matters of out their minds when they step out tonight, as Barca fans mounted a large scale protest against the club’s President during Saturday’s win over Eibar.
Barca will enter tonight’s match as favourites but, with Napoli finally hitting form, this could be anyone’s match. It’s well worth tuning in on BT Sport.
TOGETHER. UNITED. FEARLESS.
TONIGHT.
