A supercomputer has predicted the fate of Premier League sides Manchester City and Chelsea in the remainder of the knockout stages of the Champions League.
City topped Group G this season before sweeping aside RB Leipzig in the last 16, with Erling Haaland scoring a whopping five times in the second-leg clash.
The defending Premier League champions punched their ticket to the quarter-finals, with City to face Bayern Munich for a place in the semi-finals.
Chelsea, much like City, finished top of Group E before overcoming a first-leg last-16 deficit against Borussia Dortmund to reach the quarter-finals.
