Two unforgettable UEFA Champions League matches will hit the screens, as well as Major League Soccer classics.

B/R Live and UEFA TV bringing two iconic Champions League matches to the screens

One match that has gone down in history in the Champions League, one forever engraved in the memories of football fans depending on where your allegiance lies. That game is the 2nd leg of Liverpool vs Barcelona in the 2018/19 semi-finals. The Blaugrana, who had won 3-0 in the first leg and had all but ended the game, flew to Anfield for the return fixture and faced a Klopp side without two of their three deadly attackers: Salah and Firmino. Despite this, the Reds pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks to make the final and eventually win the title. For Liverpool fans, this will be a chance to re-live one of their greatest moments in recent history; for Barcelona supporters, it is an opportunity to analyze one of their lowest moments. Catch this replay on UEFA TV.

Elsewhere, B/R Live is offering another European classic for free to football lovers via its streaming service amid the ongoing lockdown. The biggest match on their schedule is the 2013 Champions League final between Dortmund and Bayern Munich. This all-German affair was highly-anticipated for two reasons. For Bayern, it was a shot to make amends for their final defeat to Chelsea the season prior. For BVB, it was a shot at revenge against their bitter rivals having lost star player Mario Gotze to the Bavarians a while earlier. This game pulled in record audience and on Tuesday, fans will be reminded why.
