A football supercomputer has predicted the winner of the UEFA Champions League after Arsenal secured their place in the final by defeating Atletico Madrid.
Arsenal Advances to Final
Arsenal beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 on aggregate to reach the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years. Bukayo Saka scored the only goal in the second leg, giving the Gunners a 1-0 victory on the night and sending them through to the final in Budapest.
The last time Arsenal reached the final was in 2006, when they lost 2-1 to Barcelona under manager Arsene Wenger. Now, under Mikel Arteta, they will face either Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich, who meet in the second semi-final at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
Supercomputer Prediction
According to The Analyst, Opta's supercomputer updated its predictions immediately after Arsenal's win. The Gunners' chances of winning the trophy jumped to 52.05%, making them instant favorites.
For the other semi-final, Bayern Munich have a 44.29% chance of overturning the first-leg deficit and reaching the final, while PSG have a 55.71% chance of advancing. If Bayern reach the final, they have a 23.33% chance of winning the title for the seventh time. PSG, the defending champions, have a 24.62% chance of retaining the trophy.
Mysterious Cat Prediction
Earlier, a mysterious cat named Nimbus Pronos had predicted that Atletico Madrid would reach the final. The cat correctly predicted Atletico's first-leg win but got the overall outcome wrong as Arsenal progressed.
