The Algorithm permutates that German giants Bayern Munich will win the Champions League this season - their seventh in history.

Per the supercomputer, the semi-finalists will be made up of Bayern, Manchester City, PSG and Liverpool, which means there will be no place for Xavi Hernandez's Barcelona.

The machine predicts that Bayern Munich will lock horns with Manchester City in the final in Istanbul next June, with the Germans having a 21% chance of winning it.

Defending champions Real Madrid have only a 7% chance of retaining their title - that's less than four other teams mentioned.
