For FC Bayern Munich, everything is on the line tonight: after the 0:1 defeat in the first leg, the record champions must secure their Champions League quarter-final ticket against Atalanta Bergamo. The second leg of the round of 16 will be broadcast live from 9 p.m. on DAZN – offering fans a clear decision on where to watch the match.
While speculation about possible streaming rights with Amazon circulated beforehand, DAZN remains the exclusive German broadcast partner for the Champions League. The pay-TV channel will show the duel between Bayern and Atalanta in full. Viewers have a choice: they can either focus entirely on the single match or switch to the high-profile live conference, which simultaneously keeps an eye on other Champions League games.
The starting situation for FCB is clearly defined. After the narrow defeat in Bergamo, the team of coach Thomas Tuchel must win at home in the Allianz Arena today to advance. A draw or even another defeat would mean an early exit from the Champions League – a scenario the club absolutely wants to avoid after the investments of recent years.
Atalanta Bergamo travels to Munich with the advantage from the first leg. The Italians have already proven this season that they are capable of surprising even top clubs. Their compact defensive unit and quick counter-attacking moments could once again pose a threat to Bayern's game.
For German football fans, today's broadcast situation brings clarity. Unlike some Bundesliga matches, which are split between various streaming services, the Champions League is entirely in the hands of DAZN. Those who want to watch the match legally therefore need a subscription to the sports streaming service. The broadcast starts promptly at 9 p.m. with pre-match coverage, with kick-off scheduled for 9:00 p.m.
Parallel to the Bayern match, other European top clubs will also decide their progress in the Champions League tonight. In DAZN's live conference, viewers can follow the most important scenes from these matches without losing sight of FC Bayern's home game. This option makes the evening particularly attractive for football enthusiasts who want to keep an eye on multiple games simultaneously.
The path ahead for the winner of this match is already laid out: in the quarterfinals, another top European club likely awaits. The draw for the next round will take place shortly and could pit Bayern or Atalanta against opponents like Paris St. Germain, Manchester City, or Real Madrid.
For FC Bayern Munich, tonight is not just about survival in the European competition but also about reaffirming their own ambitions. After disappointing performances in the Bundesliga in recent weeks, the club urgently needs a positive sign—and what could be better than advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals? Everything else will be decided starting at 9 PM on DAZN.
