Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of a mouthwatering Champions League Group G clash between Juventus and Barcelona. It was billed as the latest chapter in the rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but sadly the latter hasn’t tested negative for Covid-19 yet and cannot feature (much to his disappointment). Kick off 20:00 GMT.

Ronaldo must be hugely frustrated watching this from home. Juve aren't doing enough to really trouble this suspect Barca rearguard.
39'
Juve are bidding for a 100th CL win in their 200th match in the competition, but are going to need to move up a few gears if they are to achieve it from here.
36'
Barca should be two up. Dembele is played in by Messi, but can't beat Szczesny. He touches it back to Griezmann, who inexplicably turns down the shot and the chance goes begging.
34'
33'
Griezmann's through ball from Pedri deflects kindly for Alba, who skews wide of the near post with a first-time drive. He will feel he should have done better there.

30'
Morata gets in front of his marker and flashes a shot on the slide into the net from Cuadrado's right-wing cross, but he is flagged offside. Another one chalked off for the former Real man.

VIDEO: Barca take the lead.
27'
Chiesa engineers space down the left, but his driven, low cross is too close to Neto.
26'
24'
Messi takes Griezmann's delicious back heel into the left side of the box, but drills just wide. You'd put your house on the Argentine to hit the net with his trusty left peg from there.
22'
Barcelona with a strong spell of possession. Koeman's men recognised that Juve were building some momentum and a lengthy period of keep-ball helps them take the sting out of proceedings for the moment.

It's been all Juventus since the opening goal. A good response from the Old Lady.
16'
Juventus almost level immediately. Morata charges into the right side of the box. He attempts to clip it over Neto, but the ball rebounds off the keeper and onto his hand. The Spanish forward tucks in at the second time of asking, but it won't count.
14'
GOAL! Dembele drives in from the right, twists and turns and then fires in a shot that takes a heavy deflection on its way beyond Szczesny.

Pedri steals in on the left side of Juventus area. The home team's line was too easily broken there, but the cut back from the youngster is well dealt with.

DID YOU KNOW? Juventus have lost only four of their 42 European matches at the Juventus Stadium (W26 D12). Three of those defeats have come in their last 10 matches.

Yep.
