Arsenal’s shockingly low chance of winning Champions League revealed by supercomputer despite Real Madrid thrashing
ARSENAL’S odds of winning the Champions League have been slashed despite their impressive quarter-final victory, according to a supercomputer.
The Gunners booked their spot in the semi-final following a convincing 5-1 aggregate win over holders Real Madrid.
It is the first time the club have made the last four of the competition since 2009, when they lost to Manchester United.
They will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals this time around, looking to get to their first final since 2006.
The North Londoners have a stunning omen on their side with each of the previous four Champions League finals being held in Munich, Germany, crowning a new first-time champion.
That omen naturally extends to the Parisiens, who are looking to make the final for the first time since 2020 – losing to 1-0 to Bayern Munich.
The other side of the tournament tree sees Inter Milan taking on Barcelona in a true European heavyweight tussle.
However, the AceOdds supercomputer – which ran its simulation 10,000 times – predicts Arsenal have the second lowest chance of winning the competition outright and the lowest chance of making the final.
According to the supercomputer, Arsenal have a 42.9 per cent chance of making the final, while there chance of winning it for the first time in club history are down at 22.8 per cent.
Meanwhile, PSG are now the most-likely team to win the tournament, being given a 57.1 per cent chance at making the final and then a 32.3 per cent chance of winning the competition.
