Villarreal-Liverpool live stream (5/3): How to watch Champions League online, TV, time

There’s plenty on the line when Villarreal meets Liverpool in Champions League play Tuesday, May 3. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV, which offers a free trial.

Villarreal could be facing its last Champions League night in a while if it doesn’t pull off another upset on Tuesday against Liverpool.

The modest club ousted Juventus and Bayern Munich on its way to a surprise semifinal appearance. But if it can’t reverse a 2-0 first-leg loss against the English club, recent history shows it may not have another chance to play in the competition any time soon.

Villarreal is only seventh in the Spanish league, nine points from the final qualification place for the European competition with four rounds to go.

The team’s chances of qualifying through the Spanish league took a hit on Saturday as it lost at second-to-last-place Alavés, when coach Unai Emery had to rest some of his regular starters ahead of the match against Liverpool.

That means only the Champions League title is likely to allow the club back into Europe’s top club competition next season.

And returning after that may not be easy either, considering Villarreal’s recent record.

Villarreal hasn’t lost a home match in more than five months, since a Spanish league loss to Barcelona last November.

Villarreal qualified for the Champions League this season by winning the second-tiered Europa League for its first significant title.

Liverpool is looking to reach its third Champions League final in five seasons. The last time it was eliminated in a knockout round after winning the first leg was in the 2001-02 quarterfinals against Bayer Leverkusen.

The English club won all five away games it played in the Champions League this season, including against Inter Milan in the round of 16 and Benfica in the quarterfinals.
