ARSENAL’S odds of winning the Champions League have been slashed despite their impressive quarter-final victory, according to a supercomputer.
The Gunners booked their spot in the semi-final following a convincing 5-1 aggregate win over holders Real Madrid.
It is the first time the club have made the last four of the competition since 2009, when they lost to Manchester United.
They will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals this time around, looking to get to their first final since 2006.
The North Londoners have a stunning omen on their side with each of the previous four Champions League finals being held in Munich, Germany, crowning a new first-time champion.
That omen naturally extends to the Parisiens, who are looking to make the final for the first time since 2020 – losing to 1-0 to Bayern Munich.
