PSG have been widely tipped as strong contenders to lift the trophy, with just two matches standing between them and European glory.
Two gripping semi-final first legs commanded global attention as Arsenal hosted PSG and Barcelona took on Inter in Catalonia.
While both matches featured elite talent, they unfolded in distinctly different styles, setting the stage for high-stakes return fixtures next week.
Each of the four remaining teams still dreams of conquering Europe, and Opta’s predictive analysis has determined the frontrunners for this year’s title.
PSG impressed with their composed display during a 1-0 triumph at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
Their early dominance saw Ousmane Dembele open the scoring, and their performance in north London has solidified their status as title favorites, with Opta giving them a 41.9% chance of winning.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have seen their prospects diminish. Before Tuesday’s match, the Gunners had a 31.3% chance of claiming their first-ever Champions League title, but that figure has now dropped to just 12.1%.
They will need to overturn their one-goal deficit in Paris to reach the final, where they could face either Barcelona or Inter.
The second semi-final delivered a more chaotic spectacle. Inter twice held the lead during their 3-3 draw in Barcelona, and although they couldn’t maintain their advantage, they will be satisfied heading into the second leg with home support behind them.
The San Siro is expected to create an electrifying atmosphere when Barcelona visits next week. Having last won the tournament in 2009/10, Inter now hold a 20.2% chance of ending their long wait for European glory.
Barcelona may not have the competition’s most secure defense, but their attacking firepower makes them a force to be reckoned with.
Lamine Yamal stole the show in the first leg, while Raphinha also demonstrated his brilliance.
Confident in their ability to outscore any opponent, Barcelona enters the second leg as favorites to advance, although their overall chances of winning the tournament stand at 25.8%.
