Opta supercomputer reveals favourites to winUCL after running 10,000 simulations

Opta's supercomputer has performed the figures and spit Arsenal as the favorites to win the Champions League.

The Gunners, who are 5-1 in the aggregated holders in the aggregated holders on the Bernabeu, have had a 28.7 percent chance to lift the trophy.

With the Premier League title almost officially disappeared and all remaining focus on Europe, Arsenal looks in formidable form prior to the last four.

The side of Mikel Arteta has set up a semi-final against high-flying PSG and the supercomputer ranks the French outfit as the third favorites to win it at 24 percent after he had passed Aston Villa 5-4.

Somewhat surprising, his inter -Milan, beaten finalists from two years ago, second favorites at 25.5 percent.

And Laliga leaders Barcelona follow the other three with a 21.8 percent chance to win their sixth crown.

The margins for all four sides are extremely close by only seven percent that Barcelona and Arsenal separates, who could meet in the final as a repeat of the 2006 show piece.

The Supercomputer calculates the percentage chance that each party will win the competition by combining groats and OPTA Power Rankings.

They are based on historical and recent team performance and then 10,000 times in a model to produce a result.

Before the quarterfinals, Barcelona got the best chance of the last eight teams to win the Champions League, but is now at the bottom of the stack.

The free-scoring team of Hansi Flick dominated Borussia Dortmund in the Nou-Camp, but showed their weaknesses in the return bone and lost 3-1 and that the performance of the supercomputer changed considerably.

Arsenal fans may be on their care for the favorite day, given the dry history of the club in the competition, but the performances that are at home and gone against the 15-way champions feels like a huge milestone.

Declan Rice's Two brilliant free kicks and the curling effort of Mikel Merino gave the North London side a commander of three goals to take to Spain.

And despite all the talk about a Remontada (comeback), the men of Carlo Ancelotti barely threatened the steel opposition defense.

Jude Bellingham and Co were provided and considered in the night, with Bukayo Saka approved his missed Paneka -Penalty for the opener home to Dink.

Vinicius JR came across William Saliba to make it right a little later before Gabriel Martinelli ran away to put the icing on the cake with the winner to anesthetize an already flat capacity.

Arsenal's first stage against PSG will be on Tuesday 29 April and the Barcelona match against Inter takes place the next evening in the Nou -Kamp.
