Paris Saint-Germain surrendered the group lead and was lucky to escape with a 0-0 draw at home to Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League on Thursday, with the German side missing late chances.
Sevilla thrashed Karpaty Lviv 4-0 and tops Group J with nine points, one more than PSG. The Spanish side comes to PSG next month. Dortmund is third with five points.
PSG goalkeeper Apoula Edel made a brilliant flying save to tip Japan forward Shinji Kagawa's effort round the post with 20 minutes left.
Kevin Grosskreutz's 87th-minute shot deflected off left back Siaka Tiene and just wide, and Edel denied substitute Robert Lewandowski with a point-blank save in the final minute, with Kagawa just failing to scramble the rebound home.
PSG's best spell came midway through the second half.
Mevlut Erding's brilliant first touch sent him clean through but as goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller rushed out quickly, Erding hurried his shot to within the goalie's grasp.
PSG coach Antoine Kombouare dropped France striker Guillaume Hoarau after 11 games without scoring, and put Peguy Luyindula in attack alongside Erding - but Brazilian playmaker Nene was PSG's most lively player.
Luyindula created PSG's first genuine opening in the 31st when his clever flick allowed Nene to run behind the defense and shoot just wide.
Dortmund threatened mainly on the counterattack and PSG had a let off near halftime when Edel nearly spilled Kagawa's right-wing cross into the feet of striker Lucas Barrios.
Hoarau went on for the last 10 minutes but failed to make any impact.
A high security presence ensured there was no repeat of the violent scenes that marred PSG's match against FC Twente in the UEFA Cup two years ago as hooligans fought running battles outside Parc des Princes and in the city center.
Earlier in the day, thousands of Dortmund fans gathered at the Eiffel Tower, most decked out in yellow replica jerseys, drinking and singing heartily in a festive and trouble-free atmosphere.
Closer to the stadium, police spotters from both countries waited outside metro stations for potential troublemakers. Many roads were cordoned off in order to ferry the visitors in one direction and ensure they did not split up.
Dortmund's fans numbered several thousand inside the stadium and drowned out PSG's support with constant chanting and almost turning it into a home game for the German side.
Weidenfeller stayed behind to applaud the raucous visiting fans after the final whistle.
