Arsenal top the list of contenders to win the UEFA Champions League title in the new season, according to a simulation conducted by Opta Analyst using advanced statistics from the 36 clubs participating in the group stage.


The supercomputer from Opta Analyst has simulated potential scenarios for the tournament to determine each team's chances of winning the title, with Arsenal coming out on top at 20.9%, narrowly ahead of Bayern Munich in second place at 19.4%.


Manchester City ranked third with 12.3%, followed by FC Barcelona at 8.2%, Paris Saint-Germain at 7.1%, and Liverpool at 6.1%. Real Madrid came in seventh with 4.4%.


According to the newspaper "AS", Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid were among the most affected by these predictions, with the French team finishing fifth despite winning last season's title, while Real Madrid secured seventh place, narrowly ahead of Manchester United and Inter.


Simulation results show Arsenal and Bayern Munich outperforming the other candidates, as both teams received the highest percentages for winning the title, while the remaining percentages were distributed among the other eight teams on the list of ten contenders.
