PSG on the other hand are lucky as coach Luis Enrique has no injury problems and will have the entire team available.

Opta's supercomputer prediction

Arsenal eliminated Real Madrid as predicted by the supercomputer after the draw, and they are now favourites to win the Champions League for the first time with a 31.3 percent chance.

On the other hand, PSG only has a 22.0 percent chance of success according to the supercomputer, which is the third highest after Barcelona who have 27.4 percent.

How does Opta's supercomputer model work?

The model estimates the probability of each match outcome (win, draw or loss) using betting market odds and Opta Power Rankings. The odds and rankings are based on the team's historical and recent performances. The entire competition is simulated 10,000 times to produce a final prediction for each team.Telegraph/
