by Real Betis will look to stage an unlikely comeback in this UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie as they attempt to overcome a three-goal deficit against Man United.
In the first leg at Old Trafford, Man United bounced back somewhat from their infamous 7-0 Premier League defeat by Liverpool, beating Betis 4-1 in a performance that underscored why the Red Devils were the favorites to win the league second-rate tournament in Europe.
Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini hopes Ayoze Pérez’s late goal won’t be taken as a consolation in the second leg, while United manager Eric ten Hag is likely to see a seemingly unassailable overall lead as an opportunity to rest key players like Marcus Rashford.

How to watch Real Betis vs Man United game online from anywhere with a VPN
If you find that you can’t watch the game locally, you may need another way to watch the game – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speed on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and hooked up to a Wi-Fi network feel connected and want to add an extra layer of privacy to your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to gain access to the game. So if your ISP or cellphone provider assigned you an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can fix this problem by assigning you an IP address in your correct non-blackout zone. Most VPNs, like ours Editor’s Choice, ExpressVPNmake it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK, and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you are streaming. You should make sure your VPN is set up properly to avoid leaks: even if VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of people it believes are bypassing blackout restrictions applied correctly.

Quick tips for streaming the Europa League with a VPN
- With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success streaming Europa League matches may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as the default option for ExpressVPN, try the “Browse by city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered to the account is an address in the correct viewing space. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file for your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or whatever mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that every device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main page to quickly install the VPN on your router. In some cases, after installing a cable network sports app, Smart TV services will ask you to confirm a numeric code or click a link that will be sent to your email address associated with your Smart TV is deposited. Having a VPN on your router also helps here as both devices seem to be in the right place.
- And remember that despite using a VPN, browsers can often reveal a location, so make sure you’re using a privacy-friendly browser to log into their services. We usually recommend Brave.
