Could this be the year PSG finally wins the Champions League? According to Opta’s AI, the Parisians are one of the top contenders for the title.
After an eventful Round of 16, eight teams remain in contention:
- PSG
- FC Barcelona
- Real Madrid
- Inter Milan
- Bayern Munich
- Arsenal
- Aston Villa
- Borussia Dortmund
PSG Leading the Charge for the Semifinals
Opta’s supercomputer gives PSG a 72.2% chance of reaching the semifinals, a 36% probability of making the final, and a 19.3% chance of lifting the trophy.
For comparison, Paris had only 16% odds of eliminating Liverpool, yet they managed to pull off the win.
While PSG ranks high, FC Barcelona is seen as the team most likely to go all the way. The Blaugrana will face Dortmund in the quarterfinals, with a potential Bayern-Inter showdown awaiting in the semis.
Dortmund and Aston Villa: Long Shots
At the bottom of the prediction table, Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa are the least favored, with less than 3% chances of winning the tournament.
Will these forecasts hold true? April will provide the answers on the pitch.
