Red card

  • 29'
    Ronaldo is sent off! The referee, after consulting with the official behind his goal, has chosen to give him a red card. There was an incident in the box but replays show Ronaldo hasn't done much. That is a talking point.

    Khedira has picked up a knock and will be replaced by Can.

Start of match

  • PRVW
    The teams are in the tunnel and it is almost time!
  • PRVW
    Valencia have made six changes from the side which drew 0-0 with Real Betis at the weekend. Neto, Vezo, Wass, Soler, Guedes and Batshuayi are the new men in.
  • PRVW
    Bernadeschi comes in for Dybala and Miralem Pjanic returns to the starting lineup.
  • PRVW
    We are still waiting for the Valencia team, but Juve have not made any surprising selections in their lineup. Allegri confirmed in his press conference yesterday that only one of Dybala or Mandzukic would start and it's the Croatian who gets the nod.
  • PRVW
    And the Juventus starting XI: Szczesny, Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro, Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi, Bernardeschi, Mandzukic, Ronaldo
  • PRVW
    Here is the Valencia team: Neto, Vezo, Gabriel, Murillo, Gayá, Soler, Parejo, Wass, Guedes, Rodrigo, Batshuayi
  • PRVW
    We will have team news for you shortly!
  • PRVW
    A result is imperative for both teams tonight. With Manchester United also in the group we will see a big name drop out by the time the opening stages of the competition are over.
  • PRVW
    Cristiano Ronaldo will likely make his Champions League debut for his new team, and the competition's top scorer has a lot going in his favour. Not only has he scored 120 times in Europe's premier competition, but during his time at Real Madrid his record away at Valencia in all competitions was stunning.
  • PRVW
    The Italian champions face a tough match at the Mestalla, where Valencia will provide tough opposition for just about any team. However, they might have a trick up their sleeve.
