  1. What now for Messi?

    The highlights of my achievements over the last week or so consisted of buying a couple of Christmas presents, successfully avoiding venturing outside on Black Friday and cooking a spaghetti bolognaise.

    Compare that to the week Lionel Messi had - becoming La Liga's record goalscorer when he bagged a hat-trick in a 5-1 win against Sevilla, before adding the Champions League all-time top scorer record a few days later with another hat-trick against Apoel.

    Consequently, with no records to be broken, Messi might be feeling a little empty going into today's game against Valencia, although he can put all his focus on helping Barcelona win the major silverware that eluded them last season.

  2. Right then, no time to catch our breath really as we switch attention to tonight's other key games - Valencia v Barcelona (20:00 GMT) and Roma v Inter (19:45 GMT). If we get half the drama of the Turin derby in those games, then we have a very good night in store indeed.

  3. Juventus celebrateReuters

    Juventus players and coaching staff race on to the pitch and there are celebrations like those seen in a cup final! Amazing scenes and Juventus's stunning run of home wins goes on - 25 and counting.

  4. FULL-TIME

    That's it! So, so hash on Torino, they deserved something from this, but what a game!

  5. GOAL

    Andrea PirloReuters

    Well how about this! What a finish. Seconds left and Andrea Pirlo shoots through a crowd of players and into the bottom corner. If you have Pirlo in your side, you always have a chance.

  6. SUBSTITUTION

    Omar El Kaddouri goes off for Torino and Juan Sanchez Mino comes on for the final two minutes. Enough time to make an impression?

  7. Into stoppage time and this is anyone's game. Three minutes added on. Can anyone find a winner?

  8. This is a stunning, stunning game! Bruno Peres drives forward and squares a ball to Amauri, but he fouls a Juventus defender when challenging for the ball. Andrea Pirlo then slices a shot wide at the other end. Great drama.

  10. SUBSTITUTION

    It seems Juventus would be happy with a draw as they make a defensive change - defender Angelo Ogbonna replacing Carlos Tevez.

  11. LAST 10

    Tense times now for Juventus as Torino push for a historic winner. Marco Benassi twice has shots blocked as the away side press, before Alessandro Gazzi heads just over from Bruno Peres's corner.

    Hard to believe I'm typing this, but Juventus would surely be happy with a point now.

  12. RED CARD FOR JUVENTUS

    Now, this could interesting. Stephan Lichtsteiner slides in on Omar El Kaddouri, failing to get the ball and taking the Torino man's legs. The referee has no choice but to produce a second yellow for Lichtsteiner and Juventus will play out the final minutes with 10 men.

  13. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Fantastic football from Carlos Tevez as he dances his way across the edge of the area, skipping several challenges. The ball is eventually played to Arturo Vidal, who stabs in from close range, but he is deemed offside.

  14. SUBSTITUTION

    There will be no goal against his former club as Torino's Fabio Quagliarella is replaced by Marcelo Larrondo. Quagliarella receives a fantastic ovation from both sets of fans as he goes off.

  16. A chance for Juventus as Alvaro Morata leads an attack, two-against-two, then feeds the ball to Carlos Tevez but the striker drives a shot straight into the body of Kamil Glik inside the area.

  17. SUBSTITUTION

    Juventus make another change as Claudio Marchisio is replaced by on-loan Udinese midfielder Roberto Pereyra. They need some magic from someone as it is just not happening for them on the pitch at the moment.

  18. Bruno Peres is brimming with confidence. He cuts inside Paul Pogba and fancies a pop at goal from all of 35 yards and, you know what, it is only just over.

  19. YELLOW CARD

    All getting a little niggly as Paul Pogba gets booked for a foul on Nikola Maksimovic. One hour gone and it is pretty even.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Fernando Llorente, who has had a very quiet game, is the first to be replaced for Juventus as he makes way for summer signing Alvaro Morata.
