Yes, with Paramount+, you can stream the entirety of the UEFA Champions League live, all season long, up to and including the UEFA Champions League Final at Wembley Stadium in London, England on Saturday, June 1, 2024.
Similar to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals round, each club in the semifinals will play one home match and one away match. The two clubs that emerge from the Real Madrid-Bayern and PSG-Dortmund semifinal matchups with the most goals will advance to the UEFA Champions League Final, set for Saturday, June 1, 2024, at Wembley Stadium in London, England, and streaming live on Paramount+.
As a note: If Bayern and Real Madrid (and/or Dortmund and PSG) end their semifinals matches with the same number of aggregate goals, then 30 minutes of extra time will be added to their second leg match. If at the end of that time, the two clubs are still tied, then the action will go to penalty kicks.
From the group stages, the teams moved on to the Round of 16. There, Bayern played Lazio, dropping the first of two matches 0-1, but storming back with a 3-0 victory in the second to advance. Its next opponent was Arsenal. Those clubs tied the first match 2-2, but Bayern was able to seal the deal at home with a 1-0 victory.
Bayern entered the tournament with the second-best odds to win. The lofty expectations were due to the reputations of star striker Harry Kane, and legendary German midfielder Thomas Müller, the latter of whom has spent his whole career with Bayern (and earned 12 Bundesliga titles in the process).
Real Madrid faced a more harrowing route to the semifinals. It eked out a 2-1 aggregate victory against Leipzig before facing tournament favorites Man City in the quarterfinals. Tied after both matches and extra time, Real Madrid went on to win in penalties, 4-3.
The Madridistas have made it to the UEFA Champions League semifinals a record 33 times (dating back to when the tournament was known as the European Cup). They have been to the semifinals 12 of the last 14 years.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, is anchored by seasoned veterans Luka Modrić, Toni Kroos, Nacho, and Dani Carvajal, and paced by the hyper-talented young strikers Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior.
