Bayer Leverkusen head to the Italian capital on Thursday looking to maintain their phenomenal unbeaten record as they take on Roma in this Europa League semifinal first-leg.
Having wrapped up the Bundesliga title earlier this month while having also booked their place in the DFB Cup final later this month, Xabi Alonso's side are in line for a stunning treble and remain unbeaten across all competitions in what's proving to be an historic season for Die Werkself.
Looking to end that magnificent run are last year's beaten finalists Roma. Currently in fifth position in Serie A, Daniele De Rossi's side edged past Italian rivals AC Milan in the quarterfinals, and will draw confidence from the fact that they beat Leverkusen at this stage of last year's competition.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch every game live wherever you are in the world.

How to watch Roma vs. Bayer Leverkusen online from anywhere using a VPNIf you find yourself unable to view Europa League matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the action -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make 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're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
