AI's Response on Real Madrid's Comeback, the Supercomputer Believes

After falling to Arsenal at the Emirates this past Tuesday, some believe the tie is decided. It's true that the image Real Madrid presented wasn't very good. Some are already starting to talk about a comeback to not give everything up for lost.

In fact, even AI also sees possibilities for Real Madrid to reach the semifinals. The Opta Supercomputer has updated its predictions after the first quarterfinal matches. Despite Arsenal's 3-0, it doesn't consider the tie lost.

Although it's true that before the duel at the Emirates, it predicted a lot of equality between the two teams. After the result of the first leg, the chances for the Merengues have been reduced. They still see a 4 percent probability of a comeback occurring.

Moreover, although very remote, they do give some chances of winning the Champions League. They place them at 1.1 percent, while Arsenal has become the big favorite. With 28.4 percent, they currently surpass Barça, Inter, and PSG.

Madridism Already Knows What It's Like to Turn Around Impossible Predictions

It's true that the 3-0 in the first leg makes it very difficult for Real Madrid to be in the Champions League semifinals. However, it's not the first time the Whites have been able to turn the situation around. Even with a probability much less than that 4 percent.

In the 2022 semifinals against Manchester City, in the final minutes, they gave Real Madrid a 1 percent chance. We already know they managed to force extra time with a Rodrygo double. In extra time, they secured their place in the final, where they won the Fourteenth.

They cling to that precedent because they believe there's still hope for achieving a heroic comeback. It would be another one, although the first thing is to solve the problems they've had. If there's not a better image at the Bernabéu, it's going to be impossible to pull it off.
