It's time to say farewell. Despite scoring one and setting up another, Lionel Messi will have to wait to become La Liga's all-time leading scorer, while Juventus are left frustrated by a team that started the day bottom of Serie A.

Thanks, as always, for your company. We're back on Sunday with live text commentary of Inter Milan against Napoli (19:45 BST), while we'll also be looking ahead to next week's Champions League games.

And remember. Whatever you have planned next Saturday make sure you cancel it. El Clasico is going to be a cracker.

Credit to Sassuolo who remain without a win in Serie A but move two places up the table after a battling display. It's a good job the referee brought this to a finish when he did. Things were starting to turn a little ugly. Juventus need to regroup ahead of Wednesday's Champions League group game with Olympiakos in Greece.

Drama right at the end as Juventus substitute Simone Padoinis, who is standing by the side of the pitch, is shown a straight red card. Seconds later it's all over. The leaders drop points for the first time since March.

Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci talks his way into the referee's notebook. Frustration oozing from those in the black and white shirts.

Four minutes of added time. Sassuolo are throwing bodies forward.

Juventus's 13-match winning run in Serie A is coming to an end unless they can pull something out of the bag in the dying stages. One minute of normal time remaining.

Time is running out for Italy's most powerful team. Nearest challengers Roma will be delighted with this. Having defeated Chievo 3-0 earlier, they will be just one point behind Juve if Sassuolo can hold out.

Even Carlos Tevez can't find a way through. The former Manchester City man has been in rich form for Juventus this season, scoring six times in five league games. Tevez attempts to curl the ball into the top corner form the edge of the area but his effort is disappointing.

Massimiliano Allegri lets out a huge yell as another Juventus move breaks down. Allegri managed Sassuolo for ne season seven years ago. This is a frustrating return for him.

Golden chance for Kingsley Coman to score his first senior Juventus goal but the young substitute blazes high and wide from close range. It's been that kind of game for the champions.

The last time Juventus dropped points in Serie A? 30 March when they lost 2-0 at Napoli. Since then the Old Lady have won 13 on the trot. They need to get a move on here.

Another chance for Sassuolo as the impressive Simone Zaza lets fly from the edge of the area to force Juve's keeper into a decent save. We're set for a grandstand finish, with the home fans urging their side forward.

OptaJoe:, external Lionel Messi has now scored 250 La Liga goals (in 285 games), just one short of the all-time competition record.

Wonder what Luis Suarez thought of that? He's back next week. Things are looking up for Barcelona after the trophyless campaign they endured last season.

It's all over but not before Messi is denied again. The record will have to wait but Barcelona go four points clear at the top of the La Liga. Workmanlike rather than spectacular.

Chance for Federico Piovaccari but he plants his header wide from a corner. One lesson the Basque's will go away with - take your chances when they come. This could have been a different outcome if they had taken those two first-half opportunities.

Astonishing. Messi beats four players before unleashing a terrific curling drive from just inside the area that looks as though it is going to break the back of the net before Xabi Iruretagoiena manages to keep it out.
