Villarreal are unbeaten at home in the Champions League knockout stages, although five of those seven games have been stalemates, which won't be enough to progress here. In fact, Unai Emery's side will have to become only the second side ever to overcome a two-goal deficit in a Champions League semi-final if they are to reach the Stade de France for this year's ultimate showdown.
Emery has made two changes to the team that started at Anfield, with newly fit Gerard Moreno in for the injured Arnaut Danjuma, and Samuel Chukwueze replaced by Boulaye Dia. Despite scoring against Alavés at the weekend the Nigerian winger drops to the bench, while Danjuma misses out entirely.
With Liverpool still fighting for an historic quadruple, Jurgen Klopp was forced to rest some key players for the 1-0 win against Newcastle at the weekend, which just goes to show how seriously he's taking this visit to El Madrigal. If they were to emerge victorious, the Reds would become just the fourth club to reach double figures in European Cup final appearances.
The Liverpool boss has made five changes to his side, with Mo Salah returning to the front three, Thiago and Fabinho joining Naby Keïta in midfield, and Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahima Konaté recalled at the back. Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Luis Díaz, who all started at St James' Park on Saturday, drop to the bench.
It's an 8pm GMT kick-off at El Madrigal tonight, Tuesday 3rd May 2022. Read on for more details on how to watch a Villarreal vs Liverpool live stream wherever you are in the world.

Watch a Villarreal vs Liverpool live stream from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Villarreal vs Liverpool live stream rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.

3. Then head over to Paramount+ on your browser or device and enjoy the Villarreal vs Liverpool live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, then do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
