How to watch Chelsea vs Man City: live stream Champions League final for FREE from anywhere

Dreams will come true and hearts will be broken as Chelsea and Man City battle it out for the biggest prize in club football. Chelsea have been here before, lifting the trophy with the big ears in 2012 after slipping up in 2008, but for Man City this is uncharted territory. Read on for your full guide to getting a Chelsea vs Man City live stream and watch the Champions League final online from anywhere. 

Pep Guardiola's richly talented team, featuring Kevin de Bruyne, Rúben Dias, İlkay Gündoğan and Phil Foden, is surely the strongest in the world right now, but the Spaniard has a habit of over-complicating things on big European nights, and City have wobbled of late.

As well as conceding three against goal-shy Brighton and Newcastle in recent weeks, they've lost twice to Chelsea, who are becoming a bogey team for Pep's superstars.

Mason Mount has established himself as one of the world's top midfielders, Antonio Rüdiger looks unstoppable, while Hakim Ziyech seems to have a knack for scoring against City. However, Thomas Tuchel will be sweating over the fitness of N'Golo Kanté, who could prove most crucial of all.

It's a must-watch for football fans everywhere, and we've got all the info on how to live stream Chelsea vs Man City from anywhere. And if you're out of the country and can't access your preferred domestic broadcaster, you can always use a VPN to bypass any geo-restrictions.

How to use a VPN to unblock any restrictions

If you're outside of your preferred broadcaster's boundaries, you can use a VPN to unblock any geo-restrictions and watch a Champions League final live stream as if you were right at home. Here's our step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

• VPN - standing for virtual private network - offers security and anonymity as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
• As a part of that, you can also switch your IP address, which identifies your location.
• Most VPNs offer a list of locations where its servers are based to join. Connecting to them switches your IP to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then access content locked to that country.
• When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the best one that's suitable for your chosen device, with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, including VPN for Mac, VPN for Android smartphones, an iPad VPN, and even a range of fairly nifty free VPNs.
• Once you've made the decision for the most suitable VPN for your device and your means for using a VPN, sign-up and install it. 
• To live stream Chelsea vs Man City, all you need to do is select a UK server from its list of available servers and connect. You'll then be able to hop over those geo-restrictions, with the likes of YouTube and BT Sport opening their online gates to you.
• We also want to ensure your money is well spent, so we would recommend going for a VPN that offers a risk free trial. ExpressVPN is one of many providers that has a 30-day money back guarantee.
