For FC Barcelona supporters, the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie against Newcastle United is next Tuesday, March 10th, at 9:00 PM. You can watch it on Movistar Plus+ (channel 7) or Orange TV Libre (channel 107). The match is a crucial test for Xavi’s side, who are currently performing well in LaLiga EA Sports, boasting only four defeats and one draw. Meanwhile, Real Madrid fans will have to wait until next week to see their team in action, hosting Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, March 17th, also at 9:00 PM. These games are broadcast on Movistar Plus+ (channel 7) and Orange TV Libre (channel 107). The City side currently sits above Real Madrid in the standings.

The price difference between Movistar Plus+ and Orange TV Libre is notable: Movistar Plus+ starts at €9.99 per month, while Orange TV Libre offers a promotional three-month period for €3.99 (€7.99 afterwards). However, both platforms offer access to these pivotal Champions League clashes.

The choice boils down to individual preferences and the other content each streaming service offers. The accessibility of these matches proves that the way we consume sports is undergoing a seismic shift.

These aren't the only Champions League matches available on budget-friendly streaming services. Fans can catch Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid's upcoming games for under €10. The competition is heating up, and the viewing options are becoming increasingly democratized.
