Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Champions League Group H clash between Valencia and Juventus. Cristiano Ronaldo has almost owned this competition in recent years with Real Madrid, but will he continue to fire at Europe's top table with the Old Lady? He's back in Spain tonight against a Los Che side hoping to make a big impact on their first appearance in the group stage after a two-season absence. Kick off 20:00 BST.

    End of 2nd Half
    90+7'
    FT: Valencia 0-2 Juventus. Pjanic's two penalties win it for 10-man Juve after Ronaldo was sent off inside half an hour on his CL bow for the Old Lady. Parejo missed a stoppage-time penalty for the hosts to compound their misery.
    90+6'
    PENALTY SAVE! Szczesny dives to his right to keep out Parejo's spot kick.
    90+5'
    PENALTY TO VALENCIA. Paulista supposedly caught by Rugani who is booked. It looked rather harsh.

    Costa was injured as he was caught late having that shot. He will now be replaced.
    87'
    Costa leads the charge on a rare counter attack. He jinks into space on the left of the box and rifles in a low shot that Neto does well to parry.
    86'
    Juventus are flagging but the clock is their friend. Valencia are running out of time.
    84'
    Valencia have won a succession of corners. Juventus are creaking as the 10-men tire, but the hosts can't find a way through.
    82'
    Szczesny weakly punches the next corner clear, but Soler rifles just over from 20 yards.
    81'
    Rodrigo meets a left-wing corner but sees his header deflect just over.
    Meanwhile, Sczezesny is the latest player to go in the book.

    Juventus doing what they do best in defence, soaking up the pressure and running down the clock with their healthy lead intact.

    Plenty of possession for Valencia but they are having very little joy in breaking down this Juve rearguard.
