It looks increasingly like either Barcelona or Inter will fail to make it out of their Champions League group, which brings a real sense of occasion to tonight's clash at the Camp Nou. With Barca currently trailing their opponents by three points, a win for Inter could prove devastating for the hosts, but it'll be all square if Xavi manages to lead his team to victory. Read on to find out how to watch a Barcelona vs Inter live stream and catch the Champions League online, no matter where you are in the world.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Xavi has thrown caution to the winds with an ultra-attacking lineup. Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembélé and Raphinha are the front three, but it's at the back that things are really interesting, with the forward-thinking Sergi Roberto and Marcos Alonso selected as wing-backs. Eric García, who's not always the most dependable presence at the back, partners Gerard Piqué in central defense.

With Romelu Lukaku still out injured, Edin Džeko starts alongside Lautaro Martínez in an Inter front two, while Hakan Calhanoglu once again fills in for Marcelo Brozović in the center of the park, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Nicolò Barella for company. Denzel Dumfries is preferred to Matteo Darmian at right wing-back, while the in-form Federico Dimarco retains his place on the left.

A beautiful Calhanoglu strike condemned Barcelona to their second defeat in three Champions League outings a week ago, and though the Blaugrana should have received a late penalty, the result was difficult to argue with. Inter dominated proceedings even without Brozovic and Lukaku, but they must expect Barca to offer more this time out.

The Spanish giants beat Celta Vigo at the weekend to take top spot in La Liga but the display was far from convincing, and they're counting on Lewandowski to end his brief goalscoring drought. The Pole has gone a couple of games without netting, and hasn't scored in the UCL since his hat-trick against Viktoria Plzeň a month ago.

Inter's own big No.9, Džeko, found his range at the weekend with a brace that took his Serie A tally to 101 goals, and hitting the mark in Catalonia would cap a fine few days for the Bosnian forward.

Lose today's game and Barca won't officially be out of the UCL, but it would take a near-miracle for them to leapfrog Simone Inzaghi's team. Follow our guide to get a Barcelona vs Inter live stream and watch the Champions League online from anywhere.

How to watch Barcelona vs Inter from outside your country

We've set out how you can live stream Barcelona vs Inter in a number of countries around the world. However, if you're away travelling for pleasure or for work, you probably won't be able to watch Champions League football like you normally would at home. This is the result of geo-blocking - best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to specific parts of the world.

A good streaming VPN can let you get around these digital borders, while also offering robust protection from cybercriminals and government snooping. They're also really easy to use.
