Bilbao: Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon put in a superb performance to help Athletic Bilbao to a 0-0 draw with Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
Simon, 28, made a string of saves in the Basque Country to keep the hosts' hopes of a play-off spot alive.
The Parisians were frustrated by Athletic and Simon but move up to third in the table with two rounds of the league phase to play, including January 20's trip to Sporting Lisbon and hosting Newcastle eight days later.
Spaniard Alex Berenguer kept his place on the right wing for Ernesto Valverde's side having scored his first league goal of the season in last Saturday's 1-0 home win over Athletico Madrid.
Portugal's Nuno Mendes started at left-back for the visitors having missed their last two league games with a thigh issue.
