European football - as it happened

1. Barcelona two points behind leaders Real
2. FT: Roma 4-2 Inter
3. Leaders Juventus beat Torino earlier
4. Dortmund bottom of Bundesliga after loss

With all that last-minute drama I need to have a lie down, so time to bring an end to our European football coverage for today.

All the reports, reaction and news from around the continent are available on our European football index. Cheerio.

BBC

With that win Barcelona are back up to second, two points behind Real Madrid. It may not have been a classic, but don't forget Valencia were unbeaten at home this season before the visit of Luis Enrique's side. They dug in and got a potentially vital result in the La Liga title battle.

Andrew Priestley: Of all the people who could have scored a 90th minute winner for Barcelona, Sergio Busquets would not have been my top bet!

FULL-TIME

That's it! All over. A dramatic win tarnished slightly as Lionel Messi appears to have been struck by something during the celebrations. He goes off rubbing his head, but gives a thumbs up to the travelling fans, who will be delighted with three vital points.

GOAL

Getty Images

Unbelievable! Barcleona have done it right at the end as Lionel Messi floats a delightful ball to the far post, Neymar's effort is fantastically saved but Sergio Busquets is on hand to thump in the rebound. What a finish!

Vital, vital tackle by Nicolas Otamendi as Lionel Messi races on to a long ball forward. Messi's touch is uncharacteristically poor, giving Otamendi enough time to get an important block in. Was that the moment?

Spanish La Liga

The 90 minutes are up and there are three minutes of time added on flashing on the fourth official's board.

Spanish La Liga

Barcelona are starting to exert themselves on a tiring Valencia defence but, at the moment, the hosts are holding them back. No goals, but the crowd are in full voice. They've had a whale of time tonight.

SUBSTITUTION

Alvaro Negredo, still without a goal for Valencia, goes off and is replaced by forward Paco Alcacer, before the hosts make their final change with Dani Parejo goes off for Filipe Augusto. Six minutes left for someone to find a winner.

FULL-TIME

All over and Roma reduce the gap between themselves and leaders Juventus back to three points after taking victory in a thrilling encounter.

SUBSTITUTION

Last throw of the dice to snatch victory by Barcelona boss Luis Enrique as Xavi and, somewhat surprisingly, Luis Suarez go off with Rafinha on and Pedro Rodriguez taking their place on the pitch.

GOAL

Roma make sure they take victory in a thrilling encounter as Miralem Pjanic lifts a free-kick over the wall and into the net. Important win after Juventus's last-gasp victory earlier.

SUBSTITUTION

A change for Valencia now as the game heads into the last 20 minutes, Rodrigo Moreno is replaced by winger Rodrigo de Paul.

CLOSE!

Sofiane Feghouli is then denied at the other end by Claudio Bravo with a powerful low strike. This game has opened up a bit now, and not before time.

DISALLOWED GOAL

Getty Images

Huge frustration again for Luis Suarez as he has a goal ruled out, again deemed to have strayed offside, but I'm not too sure. Suarez turns the ball into the net from Dani Alves's cross-shot but the linesman has his flag raised.

SUBSTITUTION

Looks like Javier Mascherno is to drop into defence as Jeremy Mathieu goes off, with attacking midfielder Ivan Rakitic brought on.

Spanish La Liga

Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick in 41 minutes in his last visit to Valencia. He has 25 minutes to work his magic tonight but, on his showing so far, it seems unlikely. It is up to Neymar to have a go at goal instead, but he drags his shot wide from outside the area.

CLOSE!

Finally a bit of life to this game as Gerard Pique hacks Rodrigo's low shot off the line after Barcelona had failed to clear a corner. You get the feeling that a solitary goal will decide this match. Very tight.

CLOSE!

Getty Images

Close from Luis Suarez! He chases a hopeful ball forward, getting to it before Diego Alves and spins past the Valencia keeper but sweeps his shot into the sidenetting. He slumps to the floor, clutching his face in frustration.

Spanish La Liga

Xavi sends a deep corner to Luis Suarez, unmarked on the far side of the area, but the striker directs a powerful header wide. Better, though, from the away side.

Harry Partridge: Seems Lewandowski was to Klopp & Dortmund what Suarez was to Rodgers & LFC. Both are overrated managers & have been found out!

Spanish La Liga

Pinball in the Barcelona area as the away side struggle to deal with a corner. The ball is eventually cleared but again Valencia come forward.

Barcelona are not helped by a very quiet showing from Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, who are just not clicking today for some reason. How often do Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both fail to score on a La Liga weekend? Might well happen.

GOAL

Reuters

What a game! No sooner had Inter finished celebrating their equaliser, Roma regain the lead as Francesco Totti feeds a pass to Miralem Pjanic on the edge of the area and he sidefoots home.

KICK-OFF

Meanwhile, the considerably more cagey affair between Valencia and Barcelona is back under way.

GOAL

There's been little action in La Liga but no shortage of goals in Serie A as Inter equalise, Pablo Osvaldo's strike taking a huge deflection to fly into the net.

I'll not quit - Klopp

German Bundesliga

AP

Borussia Dortmund suffered another defeat earlier today but coach Jurgen Klopp says he will not quit despite taking "full responsibility" for his team's slump to the foot of the Bundesliga.

Last season's runners-up are bottom after 13 games following Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt.

"There's no tendency for a coaching change," says Klopp, who led Dortmund to the 2013 Champions League final. "Until someone comes along and tells me otherwise, I can't go away. I can't go until there's a better solution."

John McEnerney: Roma will run out of steam soon enough they have too many old legs to go the distance with Juve who have real quality!

It has not been a great half and while Barcelona have seen plenty of the ball - they had 72% possession in the first 45 minutes - they've not done a great deal with it, having had one attempt on goal. Will Luis Enrique make an early change?

GOAL

Reuters

What a start to the second half for Roma, and what a goal by Jose Holebas too! He brushes off a number of challenges before driving a shot high into the back of the net.

KICK-OFF

Back under way in Serie A as Roma chase a victory that would keep them in touch with leaders Juventus.

HALF-TIME

CLOSE!

Best chance of the half as Andre Gomes rounds Claudio Bravo in the Barcelona goal, but the angle is too tight and he shoots into the sidenetting.

Spanish La Liga

AFP

We've not seen too much of Lionel Messi in this game, but he attempts to make something happen by threading a ball through the defence for Neymar, who can't quite get to the pass from his team-mate as Valencia keeper Diego Alves is able to shepherd the ball out of play.

Spanish La Liga

A chance for Valencia as Andre Gomes has a go from the edge of the area and his low strike is not far off, drifting just wide of target.

HALF-TIME

EPA

All square at the break over in Italy, with Andrea Ranocchia's header cancelling out Gervinho's strike.

Spanish La Liga

A lucky escape for Valencia as Luis Suarez times his run to perfection to chase a ball that puts him clear of the defence. The linesman raises his flag, but the former Liverpool striker was onside, with Lionel Messi strolling back from an offside position.

Spanish La Liga

Jordi Alba goes in with a high foot when trying to get the ball and the referee reaches into his pocket once again. Yellow card. As I said, niggly.

YELLOW CARD

Shkodran Mustafi lunges in on Neymar and takes the Barcelona forward's legs, earning himself a yellow card. From the resulting free-kick, Xavi curls wide. Despite the pre-match billing, it's not been a classic yet. Quite a cagey, niggly affair but plenty of time for that to change.

GOAL

All square as Andrea Ranocchia heads home from a corner - the first time Roma's defence has been breached at home in Serie A this season.

YELLOW CARD

Shenanigans in the Valencia area as tempers flare after a strong, but perfectly fine challenge by Nicolas Otamendi on Neymar. Antonio Barragan is booked for Valencia, with Gerard Pique shown a yellow for Barcelona.

Spanish La Liga

...Dani Parejo sends the free-kick high over the bar. Chance gone.

Spanish La Liga

Sofiane Feghouli falls under the challenge of Dani Alves and Valencia have a free-kick 25 yards from goal, certainly in shooting range...

CLOSE!

Oh that should have been goal number two in a Barcelona shirt for Luis Suarez! A raking pass finds Lionel Messi in the middle of the Valencia area, the ball runs loose from the forward but Suarez races on to it and rifles a shot at goal, but he hits it straight at Diego Alves in the Valencia goal.

Spanish La Liga

Rodrigo is the first to test either goalkeeper as the Valencia forward wriggles past a couple of challenges just inside the Barcelona area and lashes a shot at goal, but Claudio Bravo is there to bat the ball away.

GOAL

Advantage Roma midway through the first half as Gervinho stabs in Adem Ljajic's cross from close range.

Very even start with both side's attacks getting snuffed out by the respective defences. A loose header almost falls for Neymar in the box, but Shkodran Mustafi heads clear.

John McEnerney: At last a FCB coach that sees Mascherano is a midfielder not a defender, Busquets will play deeper & JM will do the job he did in the WCup.

KICK-OFF

Barcelona have won more away games at Valencia than anywhere else, but the hosts are unbeaten on home soil so far this season. Surely we are in for a classic?

Interesting as well to see Javier Mascherano and Sergio Busquets in the Barcelona midfield together as Valenica get things under way.

Roma are the first to threaten as Francesco Totti has a go at goal, but his shot is weak and the ball drifts wide.

Must mark Messi

Getty Images

The Mestalla is a bit of a happy hunting ground for Lionel Messi. His trio of goals scored in 41 minutes of last season's game at Valencia was the second fastest hat-trick of his career. His quickest was achieved against Mallorca in October 2011 at the Camp Nou.

LINE-UPS

Roma/Twitter

The pressure is on Roma now after Juventus's dramatic last-gasp win against Torino. They trail the Serie A leaders by six points but will perhaps fancy their chances against an Inter side who have not won in the league since 29 October.

That game kicks off in just under 10 minutes.

Roma starting XI: De Sanctis; Maicon, Manolas, Astori, Cholevas; Pjanic, Keita, Nainggolan; Gervinho, Totti, Ljajic.

Inter starting XI: Handanovic, Campagnaro, Ranocchia, Juan Jesus, Dodo, M'Vila, Medel, Kuzmanovic; Guarin, Osvaldo, Palacio

Ben Turner: No wonder Dortmund are trying so hard in the CL this season. winning it is the only way they'll qualify next season.

Getty Images

Barcelona could do with a victory today to keep the pressure on La Liga leaders Real Madrid, who are currently five points clear of Luis Enrique's side.

Taking three points at Valencia will be easier said than done, however. They are just one place and four points behind Barcelona, and have a strong home record, having not lost at the Mestalla this season.

"Valencia are a difficult opponent," says Enrique. "They are playing at a much higher level than in recent seasons. If you win, it is a great boost for the team, but we start every game with the same objective. Whether we win or lose it won't be definitive in the title race."

LINE-UPS

Barcelona make one change as Javier Mascherano comes in for Ivan Rakitic. On-loan Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo lines up in attack for Valencia.

Barcelona starting XI: Bravo, Pique, Sergio Busquets, Xavi, Suarez, Messi, Neymar, Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Alves, Mathieu.

Valencia starting XI: Alves, Barragan, Mustafi, Otamendi, Gaya, Javi Fuego, Parejo, André Gomes, Feghouli, Negredo, Rodrigo.

While things just seem to get better and better for Lionel Messi, the same cannot be said of Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund. The German side are BOTTOM of the Bundesliga after a 2-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt today.

What has gone wrong this season? Has there been a more dramatic turnaround in form in such a short space of time than Dortmund's?

What now for Messi?

Getty Images

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

AFP

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.

AFP

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.

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.

Dortmund lose again

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.

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.

SUBSTITUTION

First change of the game as Giuseppe Vives goes off for Torino, to be replaced by fellow midfielder Marco Benassi.

Oh what a story this would have been! Torino's first attack in this half sees Amauri slide the ball into the path of Fabio Quagliarella and the former Juventus man, under pressure from a defender, pokes his shot just wide. So close.

Andrea Pirlo plays a corner short to Carlos Tevez, who gives the ball straight back to the veteran Italy midfielder and he then curls a cross wide of goal. Juventus have started this half much like they did the first.

Alessandro Gazzi slides along the wet turf and into the legs of Carlos Tevez. Yellow card for the Torino man. Andrea Pirlo's subsequent free-kick is headed on to the roof of the net by Arturo Vidal.

KICK-OFF

The rain has not abated, if anything it has got even heavier as the second half gets under way.

Roma will be rubbing their hands with glee at the current, unexpected scoreline. If it stays like this, they will go into their game against Inter knowing a win would reduce the gap at the top to just one point.

Long way to go yet, though.

Getty Images

It has been 12 years since Torino fans last saw their side score against Juventus, Benoit Cauet getting on the scoresheet for them back in 2002. Will the floodgates be opened now?

Getty Images

Juventus missing this man? To be fair to Marco Storari, I doubt even Gianluigi Buffon would have been able to keep out Bruno Peres's strike.

HALF-TIME

Well then, all square as the players head off towards the tunnel after a very entertaining 45 minutes. Not the half I was expecting, admittedly.

Andrea Pirlo's floated corner is plucked out of the air by Jean-François Gillet, before Carlos Tevez sends a shot into Row Z. Juventus in control now, just missing that bit of bite in the final third.

A well-worked move sees Paul Pogba open the defence with a ball for Patrice Evra on the left of the area, but his first-time cross for Arturo Vidal is ballooned over the bar by the midfielder. Torino on the back foot a bit now.

Patrice Evra finds Carlos Tevez with a cross as Juventus push forward for the first time in a while, but the former Manchester City striker cannot direct his volley on target. Moments later, Claudio Marchisio sees a shot deflected wide. Better from the hosts.

Patrice Evra looked good going forward in the early stages of this game but he is struggling to defend against Bruno Peres on that left side. Peres has space just outside the Juventus area and his ball eventually falls to Amauri, but his shot is blocked by Paul Pogba.

Carlos Tevez's pass along the edge of the Torino area is cut out by a defender. Juventus are struggling to find a way through a packed Torino backline. Anyone's game at the moment.

AFP

That goal has definitely knocked Juventus back a bit and Torino are actually enjoying a good spell at the moment. They win a free-kick midway inside the home side's half, Bruno Peres takes it with a pre-worked routine but it ultimately comes to nothing.

Bruno Peres is straight over to the celebrating Torino fans, who are going crazy and rightly so. What a derby we have here.

GOAL

Well how about this! Torino are level as they end a 12-year goal drought against Juventus, and what a way to do it! Defender Bruno Peres runs all the way from just outside his own area, into the Juventus box and somehow musters the energy to rifle in. Stunning strike.

AFP

YELLOW CARD

A tough start for Torino but skipper Kamil Glik needs to calm his players down. He doesn't though, as he himself goes in the referee's book for a foul done in frustration on Arturo Vidal.

GOAL

Arturo Vidal sweeps home from the spot at the second attempt after an infringement meant he had to retake it, Torino keeper Jean-Francois Gillet was nowhere near his effort having dived the wrong way and it is advantage Juventus.

AFP

PENALTY TO JUVENTUS

A handball by a Torino player when a free-kick by Andrea Pirlo hits the wall and it is a penalty...

The pressure is relieved on Torino as they win a free-kick some 35 yards out from the Juventus goal. The ball is rolled to Fabio Quagliarella, who has a crack from distance but his effort takes a slight deflection off Carlos Tevez, enough to take the sting out of it, and reserve keeper Marco Storari makes the save.

Patrice Evra is very much in the thick of things as he launches the ball into the area and finds the head of Fernando Llorente, who heads over. Less than 10 minutes in and you sense it is going to be a long evening ahead for Torino.

Torino are firmly camped inside their own half as Juventus press. Patrice Evra muscles his way past a defender on the left and whips in a cross but Torino keeper Jean-Francois Gillet is out to make the catch.

Juventus/Twitter

The stands look stunning with both sets of fans waving flags with their teams colours. There is definitely an excellent derby atmosphere at the Juventus Stadium but will the action on the pitch match it? No chances as yet in a relatively cagey opening.

KICK-OFF

Off we go then. Upset on the cards?

It is absolutely chucking it down as the players walk out on to the pitch. Still, it is not dampening the spirits of the Torino fans, who are in fine voice despite their side's dismal record in these matches.

Evra a "man with a brain"

Getty Images

Making his first appearance in over a month today is former Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra.

The Frenchman, who has struggled with knee injuries since joining Juve in the summer, was recently described by Sir Alex Ferguson as one of the most intelligent footballers he had worked with.

"I've always been blessed with a good memory but Patrice Evra? There's a man with a brain," Ferguson told the Big Issue. "He could speak five languages and was a great help in the dressing room. Lovely guy."

Perhaps a sign of just how one sided this derby has been down the years, it was not even picked up as Serie A's Sunday feature game, with Roma versus Inter (19:45 GMT) getting the primetime television viewing slot.

Looking at the two clubs' recent form, it is perhaps understandable. Serie A leaders Juventus have won their last five games in all competitions, while Torino have failed to take victory in any of their previous five.

It's David versus Goliath stuff, but, sadly, without the sense of the underdog coming out on top.

LINE-UPS

Patrice Evra makes his first Juventus appearance since 18 October in one of two changes for the Serie A leaders. He replaces Simone Padoin while goalkeeper Marco Storari comes in for Gianluigi Buffon, who has a shoulder injury.

Hello! Welcome to our latest jaunt across the continent as we take in action from Italy and Spain.

First up, to Turin, where Juventus play host to Torino before our focus swings to Spain as Barcelona travel to Valencia (20:00 GMT) looking to keep the gap between themselves and La Liga leaders Real Madrid to two points.

The prospect of the return of the working week may be looming but what better way to keep the Monday blues at bay than a bit of European football action?

Dreading the derby?

Getty Images

More often than not, a team's derby match will be the first fixture fans look for at the start of each season.

From the banter between supporters in the build up, to the game itself - fiercely contested, goals aplenty, twists, turns and drama - there are few things more exhilarating than games between two neighbouring teams.

Spare a thought, though, for poor Torino fans because when the Turin derby looms it must make their hearts sink. Without a win against Juventus since 1995, 12 defeats out of the 16 games since then and no goal to even celebrate in the last 12 years. It is a pretty depressing fixture.

Still, there is always hope that the next meeting could be different. Will that be the case today?
