Champions League: Supercomputer names club to win trophy after last 16 draw

A supercomputer has predicted that this season's Champions League trophy would be won by Manchester City after the last-16 draw was confirmed on Monday.

Manchester City were pitted against Sporting Lisbon in what seems like a favourable draw in the last-16 and are being tipped to go all the way in the competition to land a long-awaited first Champions League title.

The betting expert supercomputer also sees all Premier League teams, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United beating their last 16 opponents, Inter Milan Lille and Atletico Madrid, respectively.

Also tipped to go through to the next stage are Bayern Munich and Ajax who are faced with RB Salzburg and Benfica respectively.

The computer believes Real Madrid would be dumped out of the competition by Paris Saint Germain, while Juventus will beat Villarreal.

A bettingexpert spokesperson said: "The Champions League last 16 draw has been made - at the second attempt - and most of the favourites will progress according to our supercomputer.

"Real Madrid will feel the most aggrieved having originally been drawn against Benfica, but now faced with huge-spending PSG.

"And as the tournament reaches its latter stages, City are the side backed to go all the way and lift the trophy come May."
