Champions League supercomputer predicts semi-final heartbreak for Arsenal with shock Premier League rival winning it

A SUPERCOMPUTER has predicted the outcome of this season’s Champions League – and it’s bad news for Arsenal.

The Gunners have enjoyed a great campaign so far both in the Premier League and on the European stage.

They are yet to lose a match this term having only dropped points to Brighton, Manchester City and Atalanta.

Mikel Arteta’s side faced the Italian giants in their first Champions League group stage match last month.

They were held to a drab 0-0 draw at the Gewiss Stadium, prompting some fans to question how far they will go in the competition.

But a 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday asserted their place among Europe’s elite.

Now, the Gunners have been tipped to go the distance in the competition.

A supercomputer from CSDB has predicted Arsenal to improve on last term’s finish by reaching the semi-finals.

Arteta’s side crashed out of the Champions League following a 3-2 defeat on aggregate to Bayern Munich in April.

But they are now expected to go one step further by reaching the penultimate stage for the first time in 15 years.

Should Arsenal do so, they are lined up to face Premier League rivals Liverpool.

The supercomputer predicts Arne Slot’s side to progress to the final with a 4-2 win on aggregate.

Liverpool are then expected to take on reigning Prem champions Man City.

The Reds have been tipped to beat City on penalties at the Allianz Arena.

Slot and his team have been predicted to face Atalanta, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal on their way to the final.

Meanwhile, the supercomputer has drawn Man City against RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.

According to the AI technology, Arsenal will face Bayer Leverkusen in the last-16 before taking on reigning champions Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

Among the other teams expected to qualify for the knockouts are Barcelona – the team tipped to beat Aston Villa in the play-offs – as well as Juventus, Monaco, Feyenoord, Paris Saint-Germain and Sporting Lisbon.
