Supercomputer predicts Champions League winner as Arsenal and Man City chances rated

A supercomputer has predicted the favourites to win the Champions League this season ahead of tonight's blockbuster quarter-final ties.

Arsenal, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, who are all in the same half of the draw, are back in action tonight as the Champions League resumes.

The Gunners face Bayern while the Blues, who are the holders, meet Real in a repeat of last season's semi-final clash.

On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain take on Barcelona while Atletico Madrid play Borussia Dortmund.

Man City are among the favourites to raise the 'Big Ears' trophy at Wembley Stadium on June 1.

And a supercomputer has given them the best chances of winning the competition this season ahead of tonight's opponents and potential semi-final opponents Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola's side have a 28.3 per cent chance of winning the Champions League and a 41.2 per cent chance of reaching the final.

Real are second favourites as they have a 15 per cent chance of claiming their 15th European title ahead of PSG, who have a 14.7 per cent chance of securing their first Champions League.

Data shows Arsenal have a 13.6 per cent chance while Barca's chances are rated at 9 per cent.

Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid have chances of 8.3 per cent, 6.2 per cent and 5 per cent respectively.

Man City have been tipped to hold onto the Champions League following last season's heroics against Inter Milan in Istanbul, Turkey.

But Real stand in their way as they enjoy a stunning La Liga campaign, having lost just one game.

They sit at the top of the league, eight points clear of second-placed Barca.

Man City will be looking to become the first club to win back-to-back Champions League titles since 2017 when Real claimed three in a row.
