The Opta supercomputer has updated its predictions regarding the winner of the Champions League after the first semi-final matches. According to Opta, the main favorite to win is 'Paris Saint-Germain' with a probability of 41.9%. Following them are 'Barcelona' with 25.8%, 'Inter' with 20.2%, and 'Arsenal' with 12.1%. Interestingly, before the 1/2 finals, the tournament favorite was 'Arsenal'.

In the first semi-final match, 'Arsenal' lost to 'PSG' with a score of 0:1. It is reported that Mikel Merino's goal was disallowed due to offside after a VAR review. 'PSG' goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made several good saves.

Currently, 'Arsenal' needs to win the return match, which will take place on May 7, to reach the final. That match will be held at the 'Parc des Princes' stadium in Paris, while the final will take place on May 31 at the 'Allianz Arena' in Munich.

Moreover, Real Madrid has shown interest in Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. If an offer of 100 million euros comes in, 'Liverpool' is ready to let the player go. However, 'Real' considers this amount excessive.

This season, Mac Allister has played in 47 matches, scoring seven goals and providing five assists.

Currently, 'Paris Saint-Germain' from France is the main favorite to win the Champions League according to the predictions of the Opta supercomputer. In the first semi-final matches, 'Arsenal' lost to 'PSG' with a score of 0:1. The Opta supercomputer has also identified other tournament favorites - 'Barcelona', 'Inter', and 'Arsenal'. Opta's predictions may change after the second semi-final matches. We await the results of upcoming matches to see which club can conquer the Champions League this season.
