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:


When is it?

Frosinone vs Juventus kicks off at 19:30 BST at the Stadio Benito Stirpe.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

See how Messi gave Barcelona the lead in the Catalan derby.

43min: Frosinone 0-0 Juventus

It seems like one of the oldest football clichés of the European hangover has struck the Old Lady tonight. Meanwhile, the hosts are starting to pose some sort of threat going forward, largely through former Arsenal man Joel Campbell, while forcing the visitors into pot shots and hopeful crosses.

29min: Barcelona 1-0 Girona

Girona could, and maybe should, be level. Portu is put through one-on-one with Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The former Albacete man rounds the German but his shot is cleared off the line by the recovering Gerard Pique.

45min: Frosinone 0-0 Juventus (HT)

A far from convincing half from the Serie A champions after their European exertions. Ronaldo has been at the centre of the attacking moves but has so far failed to lift his teammates. The hosts grew in confidence as Juventus ran out of ideas towards the end of the half.

Will the visitors keep their perfect record going or is it coming to an end in central Italy tonight? Second half coming up shortly.

35min: Barcelona 1-0 Girona

Controversy at the Camp Nou as Clement Lenglet is given his marching orders after the referee adjudged the Frenchman to have elbowed Pere Pons following his challenge on the Girona man.

Some hope for the visitors?
