PARIS (Reuters) - Zlatan Ibrahimovic is integral to Paris St Germain's five-year plan to win the Champions League but in beating Chelsea 3-1 in the quarter-final first leg on Wednesday the French club proved they can manage when he goes missing.

The Sweden striker was a pale shadow of his usual brilliant self as he failed to score or create chances for his team mates, going off midway through the second half with a thigh injury that looks like keeping him out of the return in London.
