PSG with plenty Toulouse after stalemate
Paris Saint-Germain missed the chance to move to within one point of leader Monaco in the Ligue 1 table as it had to settle for a scoreless draw with Toulouse at the Parc des Princes.
Monaco's 1-1 draw with Bastia on Saturday (AEDT) handed PSG the chance to narrow the gap with their title rivals, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as it was unable to break down the Toulouse defence.
Unai Emery's men were high on confidence heading into Monday's encounter after its 4-0 UEFA Champions League mauling of Barcelona on Tuesday, with Angel Di Maria in particular in fine form against the Catalans.
The Argentina international was unavailable due to injury, though, while Marco Verratti was only fit enough to come off the bench at half-time after suffering a minor knock against Barcelona.
The absence of Di Maria and Verratti was noticeable as the Parisians lacked creativity against a well-organised Toulouse and the visitor eventually held on for a hard-earned draw.
This weekend's results leaves PSG in second spot, level on points with third-placed Nice, but three points behind Monaco.
