Zlatan Ibrahimovic demonstrated his enduring attacking threat Wednesday by steering Paris Saint-Germain into the Champions League quarterfinals with a goal and an assist in a 2-1 victory at Chelsea. By replicating the first-leg triumph in Paris last month for a 4-2 win on aggregate, PSG eliminated Chelsea for the second successive season. Languishing in 10th place in the Premier League, Chelsea will almost certainly miss the Champions League next season for the first time since Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003.
