PSG Held to 0-0 Draw by Auxerre

Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain were held to a 0-0 draw at Auxerre on Friday, marking their second consecutive stalemate in the league. Despite their dominance, PSG struggled to break through Auxerre's solid defense, thanks in large part to the impressive goalkeeping of Donovan Léon.

PSG's Gonçalo Ramos, who recently returned from injury, came close to scoring in the first half with a header that was brilliantly saved by Léon. Vitinha also hit the woodwork in the 69th minute, and Léon made several key saves throughout the match, including denying Randal Kolo Muani a last-gasp winner.

Auxerre, who have lost only once at home this season, had their best chance in the 70th minute, but PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made a fine save to deny Hamed Traoré. PSG manager Luis Enrique expressed satisfaction with his team's performance but not the result, emphasizing the need to stay positive.

PSG remain atop the Ligue 1 standings with 34 points, eight points ahead of second-placed Marseille. Auxerre sit eighth with 20 points, just outside the European places on goal difference. PSG's next challenge is a crucial Champions League match against RB Salzburg on Tuesday.
