Welcome to our live coverage of Barcelona against Bayer Leverkusen at Camp Nou and Valencia’s trip to Lyon, both in the Champions League.
Barca host the Bundesliga side in their first game without Lionel Messi, who on Saturday suffered a knee injury and is expected to be missing for two months.
Messi joins Thomas Vermaelen, Adriano and Rafinha on the injured list and Luis Enrique remains without summer signings Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan due to the club’s transfer embargo.
Barca were held in their first Champions League group game, drawing 1-1 with Roma in Italy at the same time Bayer Leverkusen were beating BATE Borisov 4-1 to top Group E.
Valencia meanwhile were beaten at home by Zenit St. Petersburg and Nuno Santo has found himself under pressure at the start of the season after stumbles both in Europe and domestically.
Los Che beat Granada this weekend to give Nuno some breathing space but go into the game against Lyon off the pace, though the Ligue 1 outfit could only draw with Gent in their group opener.
