PSGParis Saint Germain0MontpellierMontpellier0
Paris St-Germain dropped more points in a goalless draw with Montpellier to slow their charge to the Ligue 1 title.
Victory would have left the champions-elect needing only one more win to secure their fourth successive title.
But they were unable to find a way past an improving Montpellier, who have won their last three games.
Top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic couldn't break the deadlock in a 30-minute cameo off the bench for PSG, who face Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday.
It was only the third time that PSG - who lead Chelsea 2-1 after the first leg of their last-16 tie - have failed to win at home in the league.
But after losing a league game for the first time this season at Lyon in their last fixture, Laurent Blanc's side have now won just one of their last four league matches.
What they said
Paris St-Germain boss Laurent Blanc: "I hope we've saved the goals for next week. I prefer this scenario than to win with injuries.
"We had our chances and we didn't take them, but I hope we have a great match on Wednesday."
