A super computer from the Champions League has assessed the chances of each team and has Real Madrid the fifth favorites to land the trophy.
The last 16 starts on Tuesday evening with many of Europe's Juggernuts involved. Real his defensive champions and have made light work of Manchester City in the knockout play-offs to continue with Kylian Mbappe, making them an ominous prospect.
They will probably find challengers in Liverpool and Barcelona. The Reds led the Premier League comfortably and were at the top of the competition phase earlier this season and won all the matches. In the meantime, Barcelona seems to have their mojo back.
The AI model of OPTA has determined how far every team will probably claim in the tournament with the knockouts outs were simulated 10,000 times to produce the most accurate result -which really saw as a chance of 9.8 percent to win compared to the 19.2 percent of Liverpool.
That is probably from the challenging last 16 -yard game of Real, which means they take on Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone's Kant has seen impressive this year and are sitting above Los Blancos in La Liga. A tough draw in the last 16 has filled the winning percentage of a team.
Liverpool takes on PSG in the last 16, but that has damaged their chances and they are seen as the most likely winners. Opta gave them a chance of 30.9 percent to make the final. Just behind them are Barcelona, who have a chance of 14.8 percent on European glory.
The third most likely winner is Inter Milan, the finalists two years ago. The Italians slid under the radar, but get a chance of 14.8 percent to win the final in Munich. Incredibly fourth favorites – above Real, Bayern Munich and PSG – are Arsenal.
The Gunners have a crisis in the last third part and have disappeared in their own country. They have a more favorable draw in the first round of the knockouts, but have still had an 11.6 percent chance to win the Champions League, even though they know that they will be confronted with Real of Atletico in the quarters.
Bayer Leverkusen has had a better chance of making the final than Bayern. The two German parties meet in the last 16 with the men of Xabi Alonso, handed over a 5.4 percent chance to win compared to 5.3 percent at Harry Kane's side.
Four parties have been displayed incredibly, with OPTA considering that they have less than a chance of one percent on success. Among them is Aston Villa, as well as Club Brugge, their last 16 opponents. Dutch duo PSV and Feyenoord are also in the category.
Benfica, Borussia Dortmund and Lille all have less than two percent chance of victory. Despite the form this year, Atletico only has a 4.2 percent chance of European success. For context, this means that OPTA believes that Inter is three times more likely to win than the Spanish side.
Inter has had the best chance to get the last 16, partly until they played Feyenoord. They got a chance of 81.6 percent to get through, while Liverpool, who is confronted with PSG, only have a 58.3 percent chance to win their draw.
