Paris Saint-Germain's stuttering start in this season's Champions League continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw by PSV Eindhoven in the French capital on Tuesday (Oct 22). The Dutch champions led through a Noa Lang strike just after the half-hour mark at the Parc des Princes, but Achraf Hakimi equalised early in the second half.
Nevertheless, this was a game PSG should have won given the chances they created, but Luis Enrique's team once again struggled to put the ball in the net, a recurring problem for them in Europe.
PSG's frustration was summed up when they were awarded a penalty in injury time after a challenge on Marco Asensio in the box, only for the decision to be overturned on review.
The French giants had 25 attempts on goal in this game to their opponents' seven. They have now scored just twice in their last five matches in the Champions League, with the other an own-goal against Girona last month.
That run goes back to last season's semi-final against Borussia Dortmund which they lost 2-0 on aggregate.
After a narrow 1-0 victory against Girona and a 2-0 defeat away to Arsenal in their first two matches in the new-look format of the competition, PSG have just four points from a possible nine.
There are still five games to play but they have Atletico Madrid at home next followed by Bayern Munich away, suggesting things will not get any easier.
PSV, meanwhile, are still winless having previously lost away to Juventus before drawing at home to Sporting.
That shows how big a step up playing in Europe is for the Dutch side, who have a perfect record after nine games in this season's Eredivisie.
Rested in Ligue 1 last weekend and controversially dropped against Arsenal earlier this month, Ousmane Dembele was back in the starting line-up for PSG.
