LONDON (AP) 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.
Although Chelsea conceded in the 16th minute when Ibrahimovic's cross was turned in by Adrien Rabiot, Diego Costa leveled 11 minutes later on his return from injury.
But Costa was forced off injured on the hour and the 34-year-old Ibrahimovic scored the winner seven minutes later.
