LEVERKUSEN, Germany -- Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain all but booked its place in the Champions League quarterfinals with a 4-0 away rout of 10-man Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday. Blaise Matuidi got the visitors off to a flying start in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie by scoring in the third minute. Ibrahimovic made it 2-0 from a penalty in the 39th, after Emir Spahic hauled down Ezequiel Lavezzi, and effectively killed the game three minutes later when he rifled a shot from outside the penalty area inside the top far corner. Leverkusen had Spahic sent off for a second yellow card in the 59th, and Paris substitute Yohan Cabaye completed the rout in the 88th. "We had a good game," said Ibrahimovic, who took his tally in this seasons competition to 10 goals from six games. "We scored early and when you are in the lead it is much easier." The result looks almost certain to end Leverkusens hopes of reaching the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002, with a mountain to climb in the second leg in Paris on March 12. No team has recovered from 4-0 down in a two-legged Champions League tie. Barcelona won 2-0 at Manchester City in Tuesdays other game. Lionel Messi converted a penalty in the 54th after Martin Demichelis brought him down in the area -- his Argentina teammate was also sent off -- and Dani Alves put the Catalans in a commanding position by scoring in the final minute. Leverkusen seemed to be feeling the effect of losing five of its last seven games. The home side looked nervous from the start, perhaps mindful of losing 5-0 to Manchester United in its previous game at home in the competition. "We played with fear and I really dont know why," Leverkusen defender Omer Toprak said. Leverkusen captain Simon Rolfes lost the ball to Matuidi, who combined with Ibrahimovic and Marco Verratti before tucking the latters return pass inside the far post. "We observed them and saw their (previous) game against Schalke. We knew they were suffering and we didnt want to gift them any confidence," said Paris coach Laurent Blanc, whose side was unbeaten in its previous seven away games, with five of those ending in victory. The visitors exuded confidence as the home side struggled to compete. Ibrahimovic should have made it 2-0 when Leverkusen keeper Bernd Leno struggled to deal with an effort from Lavezzi, but he fired the rebound straight at Roberto Hilbert. The home side gradually improved. Spahic, who had been doing a good job marshalling Ibrahimovic, tried his luck from distance, though failed to trouble Paris goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu. The penalty dented his sides hopes, however, and then Matuidi played the ball back for Ibrahimovics hammer shot. Leverkusen coach Sami Hyypia reacted at halftime by bringing Rolfes and the disappointing Son Heung-min off for Stefan Reinartz and the 17-year-old Julian Brandt respectively. Striker Stefan Kiesslings penalty appeals were ignored and Leverkusen supporters were further enraged when Spahic was sent off with his second yellow card for catching Lucas with his arm in a tussle for the ball. Leverkusen defender Philipp Wollscheids blushes were spared in the 66th, when his own goal was ruled out after Lavezzi had strayed offside. Leno produced a great save to deny Paris substitute Javier Pastore from close range with four minutes remaining, but was helpless to stop Cabaye from emulating Ibrahimovic with a similar finish from Lucas lay-off. "We also want to win the return game," Blanc said. "We were back to the type of football we were playing in the first half of the season. The players did well. I have to compliment them."

Its amazing when a guy gets those few precious days to recover what it does to the bounce in their step and overall game/confidence.CLEVELAND - Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer could be without three prime targets in Cincinnati on Thursday night.The team said Wednesday that Pro Bowl tight end Jordan Cameron has been ruled out of the matchup with the first-place Bengals because of a concussion.Also, wide receiver Andrew Hawkins is listed as questionable — a 50-50 chance of playing — and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel is probable — 25 per cent chance — for the nationally televised game.Cameron sustained his third concussion in three seasons on Oct. 26 against Oakland. He sat out Sundays win over Tampa Bay and will miss another game as the Browns (5-3) face the AFC North-leading Bengals (5-2-1). Cameron, who missed a game earlier this season with a shoulder injury, has just 13 receptions this season after making 80 catches in 2013.Cameron is in the final year of his contract.Hawkins, who leads the Browns with 39 receptions for 504 yards, got hurt on a low hit by the Buccaneers. The quick turnaround between games could make it tough for Hawkins to be on the field to face his former team. Hawkins played three seasons for the Bengals before they decided not to match an offer sheet made by the Browns to the restricted free agent inn March.ddddddddddddBrowns coach Mike Pettine said Hawkins will likely be a game-time decision.I know its real important to him, Pettine said. Ive been led to believe that it will be a game-time decision. If we leave it up to him, hell go, just knowing the type of player that he is.A tryout player in Clevelands rookie minicamp, Gabriel has been a pleasant surprise for the Browns, who needed someone to step up during Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordons suspension. The 5-foot-7, 167-pound Gabriel has delivered with 21 catches for 404 yards. He caught the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter to help beat the Buccaneers.It feels good to be in this locker room, Gabriel said after Sundays win. Im enjoying every minute of it. Im a rookie and Im enjoying the ride.Also, the Browns reported that defensive ends Phil Taylor (knee) and Billy Winn (toe) are also questionable. Taylor just returned to practice this week after having surgery. His return could help a rushing defence that has struggled all season.Winn returned after missing three games with a quad injury last week and blocked a field goal in the first quarter.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
