AI predicts Real Madrid to miss out on Champions League but win La Liga

Real Madrid have a near-impossible task of replicating the success they showed in 2023/24. They had a near-perfect season, winning La Liga, the Champions League and the Supercopa de España. In fact, the only way it would be improved is by winning the Copa del Rey but that is simply asking for perfection.

But how successful will Real Madrid be? Well, the future is impossible to predict. However, fans can hazard a pretty good guess. So, we decided to involve AI in the fun, as we asked ChatGPT the predictions for La Liga, the Champions League, Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España.

AI predicts Real Madrid to miss out on Champions League but win La Liga

AI predicts the Champions League

Real Madrid fans always look forward to the Champions League the most. Given that they are the most successful side in the competition's history (by some distance), it's clear to see why. That said, will Real Madrid reclaim the Champions League in 2024/25?

Fans are certainly confident. Real Madrid's squad has only improved since last season, when they lifted the title yet again. However, it isn't always about team improvement, as other teams can also improve. There is always an element of luck involved in any title win, let alone knockout-based titles.

AI is not so confident that Real Madrid will re-claim the Champions League. Instead, ChatGPT said "If I had to choose one team to win the UEFA Champions League in 2025, I would predict Manchester City."

When prompted about where Real Madrid will finish in the Champions League, ChatGPT replied: "Considering their historical performance and current squad strength, I would predict that Real Madrid will reach at least the semi-finals of the Champions League."

So, in line with this prediction, Real Madrid will not win the Champions League again, but they will travel far in the competition, only missing out on one game which is the final.

AI predicts La Liga

For the 2024/25 season, AI is more favourable to Real Madrid than the Champions League. In fact, ChatGPT has predicted for Carlo Ancelotti to re-claim the Spanish top flight. ChatGPT said: "For the 2024/25 La Liga season, I would predict Real Madrid to win the title."

If the prediction comes true, then Real Madrid would've won the title 37 times. Currently, they are already the record holders with 36 Ligas.

AI predicts the Supercopa de España

The third trophy which Real Madrid will be hoping to re-claim in the upcoming 2024/25 season is the Supercopa de España. This will be the earliest decided trophy, as it is due to be held January 8–12, 2025. The four qualified teams are Real Madrid, Barcelona, Athletic Club and Mallorca.

It isn't the most presitgious trophy on the list but Carlo Ancelotti doesn't have favourites. He just wants to win everything in sight. AI is not hopeful, though, as ChatGPT said: "I would predict that Real Madrid will reach the [Supercopa] final."

When prompted for a prediction on the winner, ChatGPT said: "I would predict FC Barcelona to win the Supercopa de España."

It must be taken into consideration that Barcelona are the most successful team in Supercopa history, so they are bound to be the favourites here. Fans across the globe would love an El Clasico final, but Real Madrid fans would want nothing less than a win in such circumstances.

AI predicts the Copa del Rey

Last but certainly not least, it is the Copa del Rey. This is the one trophy which eluded Carlo Ancelotti and co last season, so Real Madrid will be hoping to add this to their tally in 2025. The last time that Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey was in 2023.

If ChatGPT's predictions are anything to go by, then the final result of the Copa del Rey will be the same as the Supercopa, from Real Madrid's perspective. However, Real Madrid fans may wish to close their eyes on ChatGPT's prediction. When asked which team could win the Copa del Rey, ChatGPT said: "I would predict Atletico Madrid to win [the Copa del Rey]"

That said, Real Madrid can take some comfort in the world of AI, since it wasn't harsh enough to predict a Real Madrid loss in the final. Instead, it said: "For the Copa del Rey, I would predict that Real Madrid will reach the semi-finals."

Final thoughts

Real Madrid fans would not turn their noses up at winning La Liga. However, they would wish to make a statement by winning multiple trophies in Kylian Mbappe's first season. That said, these predictions from ChatGPT should be taken as light-hearted. After all, nothing can predict the future accurately... Or can it?
