Cristiano Ronaldo will miss tonight's Champions League clash against Barcelona after testing positive for coronavirus.

Barcelona are set to face off Juventus in the second round of the Uefa Champions League group stage.

In order to play Juventus' upcoming Champions League match, the Portuguese was needed to test negative on Tuesday as protocol states that a player must have a negative test 24 hours before the match.

According to ANI, the player has tested positive in the recent testing and will not feature in the club's match against Barcelona. Previously, Ronaldo had tested positive for coronavirus on October 13 while on international duty.
