Supercomputer predicts Man City Champions League fate ahead of Real Madrid clash

Manchester City’s chances of retaining the Champions League this season have been rated with Pep Guardiola’s side the most likely to win the competition, according to a Supercomputer simulation.

City booked their place in the quarter-finals last week by overcoming FC Copenhagen 6-2 on aggregate. Goals from Manuel Akanji, Julian Alvarez, and Erling Haaland gave them a 3-1 win in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium, a repeat of the same result in the away leg.

That win booked their place in Friday morning’s draw for both the quarter-final and the semi-final of the competition, where they were drawn out alongside Real Madrid. The first leg will take place at the Bernabeu on Tuesday 9 April with the second leg just over a week later.

have crunched the numbers with their Supercomputer predicting the likeness of each outcome in the Champions League. Their workings give City a 64.8 percent chance of getting past Real Madrid and into the semi-final of the competition, just as they did in the semi-final last season.

The numbers then show City have a probability of 38.7 percent chance of making it to the final of the competition. If they get past Real Madrid then City will face the winner of the quarter-final between Arsenal and Bayern Munich in the semi-final.

If they make it through that, then they have been given a 33.6 percent chance of lifting the trophy for the second time in two years. That makes Guardiola’s side by far the favourites with Paris Saint Germain next with a chance of 15.4 percent.
