Supercomputer predicts Champions League winner as Chelsea and Tottenham face uphill battle

A supercomputer has predicted who will win the Champions League this season as Chelsea and Tottenham begin to plot their routes to the final. In the round of 16 first-leg, AC Milan will lock horns with Spurs at the San Siro before Borussia Dortmund face the Blues at the Signal Iduna Park.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain stand in the way of Bayern Munich, Club Brugge will face Benfica, Liverpool play Real Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt have Napoli, Inter Milan travel to Porto and Manchester City have RB Leipzig in their sights.

Only four of the 16 sides in the first knockout stage went unbeaten in the group stages; the Premier League champions, the Ligue 1 champions, the Bundesliga champions and Benfica. While the quartet will be eager to carry their rich vein of form into the round of 16, Chelsea and Tottenham are among 12 other European giants desperate to prove their worth at the highest-level.
