The stage is set in Bergamo for a high-stakes second leg as Atalanta looks to overturn a daunting deficit against Borussia Dortmund in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League knockout play-offs. After a clinical 2-0 victory for BVB at Signal Iduna Park last week, "La Dea" must channel their famous European spirit to avoid an early exit from the competition.

Dortmund seized control of the tie in Germany with a ruthless first-half display. Serhou Guirassy opened the scoring just three minutes in, and Maximilian Beier doubled the lead before the break. Atalanta struggled to create clear-cut chances, finishing the match with only one shot on target, leaving them with a mountain to climb at home.

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
