Wasteful PSG held by Athletic Club
Paris Saint-Germain put in an underwhelming display as the Champions League holder was held to a goalless draw by Athletic Club at San Mames.
PSG created the better openings and saw Bradley Barcola hit the crossbar in the second half, but a mix of poor finishing and fine goalkeeping from Unai Simon meant the visitors had to settle for a point.
Fabian Ruiz volleyed over the bar in the 20th minute, while at the other end, Alex Berenguer's curling effort drew a smart from Matvey Safonov.
PSG ought to have taken the lead on the stroke of half-time when Warren Zaire-Emery's ball found Senny Mayulu, but he side-footed straight at Simon.
Zaire-Emery was himself thwarted by Simon with a stinging effort from just inside the penalty area after the restart, and Barcola was frustrated when he cut in from the left and smashed a right-foot shot off the woodwork.
Fabian had a great chance to win it for Luis Enrique's side late in the game but shot straight at Simon from the left of the area when slipped in by Desire Doue, before seeing his follow-up blocked on the line.
