A supercomputer revealed its predictions regarding the team that will win the current edition of the Champions League.
The final match of the prestigious European Championship is scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 30, at the Puskas Arena in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, between Arsenal and defending champion Paris Saint-Germain, and will start at seven o’clock in the evening, Mecca and Doha time.
Arsenal and Saint-Germain qualified for the final stage after overcoming Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, respectively, in the aggregate of the two-legged semi-final matches.
A supercomputer predicts who will win the Champions League
According to supercomputer predictions from the famous OPTA network specializing in data, Arsenal will be the one who will lift the “Eared” Cup for the first time in its history.
The computer doubted Paris Saint-Germain’s ability to maintain and achieve the title for the second time in a row, and gave it chances of winning up to 44.24%, compared to 55.76% for coach Mikel Arteta’s team.
The computer based its predictions on the solidity of Arsenal’s defense, as it is the strongest back line in the Champions League this season (conceding 6 goals in 14 matches), in stopping the threat of the strongest attack in the old continent, with the ability of its players to quickly switch to attack and score goals, in addition to their great skills in investing in set pieces.
The most powerful Paris attack in Europe
The Spanish newspaper “Sport” believes that the artificial intelligence’s predictions completely contradict many realistic expectations and nominations, which are in favor of the Parisian giant, whose players scored 44 goals in the current edition (a record), being the most prepared team and having names in most lines that are better than those of its counterpart Arsenal.
The newspaper wondered to what extent Paris could overturn these expectations and win in a direct confrontation against the best team in Europe this season between “the projects of Spanish coach Luis Enrique and his compatriot Arteta.”
Paris Saint-Germain reached the final after “two legendary battles” against the Bavarian giant, winning 6-5 on aggregate, noting that the defending champion won the first leg in the Princes’ Park 5-4, then forced a positive 1-1 draw in the return leg at the Allianz Arena, the stronghold of its German rival.
As for Arsenal, it played two tough matches against the Rojiblancos, during which it managed to achieve a narrow qualification by winning the aggregate of the two matches 2-1, as it tied the first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid 1-1 before winning at home and among its fans in the return leg with a single goal scored by the Englishman Bukayo Saka.
Paris Saint-Germain is competing in its second final in a row, as it won the title last year by defeating Inter Milan 5-0, while Arsenal is competing in the second final in its history after the first in 2006, which it lost 1-2 to Barcelona.
If the Parisian team manages to win the title, it will be the third for its coach Enrique, who previously achieved European glory with Barcelona in 2015 and Saint-Germain in 2025.
