  1. Barcelona 2-0 Villarreal

    Jordi Alba has a crack now from a tight angle but it's tipped around the post by Sergio Asenjo.

  2. Barcelona 2-0 Villarreal

    Another slick Barca move. Ansu Fati speeds down the left and finds Lionel Messi, whose shot is blocked.

  3. Barcelona 2-0 Villarreal

    If Ansu Fati scores again he would be the youngest ever La Liga hat-trick scorer. He is 17 years and 332 days old, five days younger than Jose Iraragorri was when he scored three for Athletic Bilbao in a 7-1 win at Real Sociedad on 16 February 1930.

  4. Roma 1-0 Juventus

    Aaron Ramsey goes close to an instant equaliser but turns the ball wide at the near post.

  5. goal

    GOAL - Roma 1-0 Juventus

    Jordan Veretout (31 mins)

    Roma lead the champions. Adrien Rabiot blocks a shot with his arm - a proper handball. And Jordan Veretout scores from the spot.

  6. goal

    GOAL - Barcelona 2-0 Villarreal

    Ansu Fati (19 mins)

    Ansu Fati has a second goal! Philippe Coutinho carries the ball from his own half and plays it out left to Fati, who hits a low shot underneath the keeper.

  7. Roma 0-0 Juventus

    Roma aren't happy. Edin Dzeko is in on goal and is brought down by Giorgio Chiellini but the referee isn't interested.

  8. Barcelona 1-0 Villarreal

    Ansu Fati scored eight goals in 33 games for Barca last season, even though he was technically a Barcelona B player. But he's a proper member of the full Barca squad this season.

  9. goal

    GOAL - Barcelona 1-0 Villarreal

    Ansu Fati (15 mins)

    We have lift-off. Jordi Alba flies down the left, looks up and finds Ansu Fati, who scores a tidy side-footed first-time finish from about 14 yards.

  10. Barcelona 0-0 Villarreal

    Lionel Messi has an air-kick and then a blocked shot in the space of a few minutes.

  11. Barcelona 0-0 Villarreal

    Barcelona have won their opening fixture in 10 of the last 11 La Liga seasons - with last season against Athletic Bilbao the exception.

    This is already Villarreal's third game.

  12. goal

    GOAL - Reims 0-1 PSG

    Mauro Icardi (9 mins)

    PSG have the lead in France as Mauro Icardi scores his first goal of the season. It was set up by Kylian Mbappe.

  13. Roma 0-0 Juventus

    Aaron Ramsey involved again for Juve but his dangerous cross is put behind.

  14. Reims 0-0 PSG

    Early chance for Kylian Mbappe but his shot is saved.

  15. Barcelona 0-0 Villarreal

    Philippe Coutinho has a shot blocked.

    Coutinho scored twice in Barca's last competitive game. Sadly they were for Bayern Munich.

  16. Barcelona 0-0 Villarreal

    Lionel Messi involved again, he finds Jordi Alba but the left-back's cross is blocked.

  17. Roma 0-0 Juventus

    Juve free-kick as Alvaro Morata heads over the bar. Remember all those headers he scored when he was first at Chelsea.

  18. Barcelona 0-0 Villarreal

    Villarreal have a good attack but Sergio Busquets does well to drop into the box and intercept a pass.

  19. Barcelona 0-0 Villarreal

    Villarreal boss Unai Emery is wearing a mask on the sideline - although it's not covering his nose.

  20. Barcelona 0-0 Villarreal

    LIonel Messi appears to be playing centrally in the early stages. He sprays a ball out left to Ansu Fati, but he's offside.
