Top stop from Simone Scuffet.

Cristiano Ronaldo involved again, this time with a couple of stepovers and laying the ball on to sub Federico Bernardeschi, but the Italian sees his thumping low shot palmed out by the Udinese goalkeeper.

Cristiano Ronaldo looking for a second and on his left peg again, but this time his low shot is straight at Udinese goalkeeper Simone Scuffet.

A change for Juve on 65 minutes.

Federico Bernardeschi replaces Paulo Dybala.

An hour gone, there has been little threat to Juventus' goal so far.

Antonin Barak hit the post in the first half and the Czech midfielder comes close again, curler a left-footed shot just wide of the post.

Udinese 0-2 Juventus

This is a painful one for Udinese defender Bram Nuytinck.

Juve forward Paulo Dybala finds space again in the box, but thumps a shot into the chest of Nuytinck.

To the Dutchman's credit, he is quickly back on his feet.

There goes the half-time whistle. Alaves more than holding their own against Real Madrid. Julen Lopetegui's side have unsurprisingly had more of the ball but have failed to create many clear-cut opportunities.

Gareth Bale turns well on the halfway line and plays a decent ball out left to Karim Benzema, but Ximo Navarro stands tall and forces the Frenchman into a scuffed effort that is easily cleared. Good defending.

Ohh Paulo Dybala.

The little, tricky Argentine does brilliantly to beat two Udinese defenders in the box, turning inside onto his favoured left foot but the finish is horrible, skied high and wide of goal.

Victor Laguardia goes down in pain after an accidental collision with Dani Ceballos. It looks like the Alaves man took a flying arm to the face. There was no intent though and Laguardia is soon ok to carry on.

Kevin Lasagna has to gobble this up.

Brazilian full-back Samir meets a free-kick in the box and heads it down to Lasagna, whose scuffed shot from a couple of yards out is hacked clear off the line.

Lasagna would have been licking his lips when that fell to him.

Alvaro Odriozola is a threat for Real Madrid down the right. The full-back once again finds space before putting in a decent ball that is cleared for a corner.

Away we go again.

Any way back for Udinese?

Nacho shows a neat turn of pace to burst down the left but his cross is behind Karim Benzema in the middle and Alaves can clear.

A change for Juventus at half time.

German midfielder Emre Can says a quick prayer before entering the pitch in place of Blaise Matuidi.

Alaves are knocking on the door! Jonny puts in a wonderful cross from the left but Ibai Gomez seems to lose sight of the ball in the air and can't get onto the end of it.

Another half chance for Alaves as Mubarak Wakaso goes on a mazy run into the area but his scuffed shot is deflected comfortably into the hands of Thibaut Courtois.

Alaves are working hard to press Real Madrid at every opportunity. It nearly works too when Casemiro plays a loose pass deep inside his own half, but Sergio Ramos is alert to clear before an Alaves player can intercept.

Half chance for Alaves as Jony races on to a long pass over the top, but he can't get a touch on the ball and it goes out for a goal kick.

Karim Benzema drifts out wide to the right and puts in a teasing cross towards Gareth Bale, but the Welshman can't get over the ball and his header drifts harmlessly over the bar.
