The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League is heating up as the quarter-finals approach, with fans eagerly anticipating who will lift the prestigious trophy.
A supercomputer from Jeffbet has simulated the remainder of the tournament, predicting a thrilling path to the final at Munich’s Allianz Arena on May 31, 2025.
The Champions League quarter-final first legs will take place on April 8 and 9, with return fixtures a week later.
The semi-finals are scheduled for April 29 and 30, while the second legs will be on May 6 and 7.
While traditional giants like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich remain strong contenders, the supercomputer’s predictions suggest an exciting twist.
Notably, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, who were among the favorites, have already bowed out of the competition.
Liverpool suffered a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), while Atletico Madrid’s controversial loss to Real Madrid ended their campaign.
English clubs Arsenal and Aston Villa advanced impressively. Arsenal demolished PSV Eindhoven 9-3 on aggregate, while Aston Villa cruised past Club Brugge 6-1.
However, the supercomputer forecasts that both clubs will struggle in the next round against tougher opponents.
Arsenal faces a tough battle against Real Madrid, with the prediction indicating a narrow 5-4 aggregate defeat.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa is expected to exit the competition following a 4-0 home loss to PSG after a goalless first leg in Paris.
Elsewhere, Bayern Munich is projected to overcome a 1-0 first-leg loss to Inter Milan, advancing on penalties after a dramatic 2-1 win in Italy.
Barcelona, powered by young star Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, is expected to dominate Borussia Dortmund with a convincing 5-0 aggregate win.
The supercomputer predicts an electrifying semi-final between Bayern Munich and Barcelona, with the German side securing a 9-7 aggregate victory.
On the other side, Real Madrid is forecasted to edge past PSG 4-3, despite a fierce second-leg comeback by the French club.
In the final showdown, Bayern Munich is tipped to defeat Real Madrid 3-1, claiming their seventh Champions League title.
This would mark Bayern’s first European triumph since 2020 and deliver a long-awaited major trophy to striker Harry Kane.
With unpredictable outcomes and intense matchups ahead, the 2024/25 Champions League promises to be an unforgettable season for football fans worldwide.
