Paris St-Germain, the European champions, couldn’t break down Athletic Club, but they are still in a good position to reach the Champions League next stage.
Luis Enrique’s team sit third, just one point inside the top eight, while Athletic are down in 28th and close to elimination.
PSG controlled the match at San Mames, creating most of the clear chances, but couldn’t beat home goalkeeper Unai Simon.
Fabian Ruiz missed two good opportunities by shooting over the bar, and Simon produced strong saves to stop Senny Mayulu before and after half-time.
PSG’s best chance fell to Bradley Barcola, who sprinted through on goal and smashed his shot against the crossbar.
Ruiz nearly grabbed a late winner too, but Simon saved again and Yuri Berchiche cleared the ball off the line.
Athletic Bilbao, whose only shot on target came late from Asier Hierro, are now two points outside the knockout play-off positions.
