European football LIVE: Watch Lionel Messi score for Barcelona as Cristiano Ronaldo goes close with Juventus

Cristiano Ronaldo will be hoping for a better end to tonight's game against Frosinone after he was sent off in Juventus' win against Valencia in the Champions League, something which could see him ruled out of their game at Old Trafford against Manchester United.

Barcelona, meanwhile, are looking to make it five wins from five La Liga matches when they host Girona - a fixture that has controversially been tipped to be played in Miami next season.

Lionel Messi's side have started the season in great form and made light work of PSV in the opening game of their Champions League group.

Follow the live action from their matches below:

GOAL!

19 min: GOAL! Barcelona 1-0 Girona (Messi)
 
He may have been denied 10 minutes earlier, but Barca's go-to man does it again, placing past the hapless Bounou after a smart lay-off from Arturo Vidal.
 
First blood to the hosts in the Catalan derby.
20:03
15min: Barcelona 0-0 Girona
 
All the typical Barcelona build-up and the Messi magic, but the Argentinian is denied by a fingertip save from Bounou.
 
It seems like the whole of the stadium expected it to nestle in the corner, a couple of minutes before Arthur goes into the book for a rash challenge.
 
20:00
27 min: Frosinone 0-0 Juventus
 
Max Allegri will not be pleased by what he's seen so far from the Old Lady, who have misplaced numerous passes under little pressure. The visitors continue to dominate the ball but all they have to show for it in the last five minutes is a free-kick from Ronaldo straight into the wall
19:58
7min: Barcelona 0-0 Girona
 
Ousmane Dembele has picked up from where he left off against PSV and has already started to trouble the Girona defence.
 
The visitors are posing a threat though and have ter Stegen to thank after the German held a header from Bernardo Espinosa
19:53
20 min: Frosinone 0-0 Juventus
 
Allegri's men have looked pretty toothless so far in attack but are nearly gifted the lead by Cristian Molinaro, who has Marco Sportiello to thank for tapping his header from a Juventus corner over the bar.
 
The keeper on loan from Atalanta comes to the hosts' rescue again by parrying Ronaldo's drive.

1min: Barcelona 0-0 Girona
 
The referee blows his whistle and the ball is rolling at the Camp Nou!

12min: Frosinone 0-0 Juventus
 
The Old Lady are dominating possession as expected, but their final ball could do with some work, with Juan Cuadrado and Alex Sandro lacking in end product so far. 
19:41
8min: Frosinone 0-0 Juventus
 
It's been a pretty tepid start in Lazio by both sides. The host's joy has been restricted to winning a couple of free-kicks down Juve's right.
 
Ronaldo's involvement so far has seen him rolling around on the floor twice, but he should score a minute later but fails to get hold of Mandzukic's knock-down and Frosinone manage to clear.

So, it's back to league action for Barcelona and Juventus on this autumn Sunday evening.
