Arsenal secured a solid victory against PSG in the Champions League Tuesday night, a performance that serves as a reminder of their status as one of the top clubs in Europe.
They have consistently played at this level for at least two years, but trophies have eluded them, which has led many to overlook just how good this Arsenal team really is.
The Gunners are eager to win silverware and have come close to ending their trophy drought in the last two seasons.
Mikel Arteta is keen for his team to succeed, and former AC Milan player Clarence Seedorf has shared his thoughts on what they might be lacking.
After watching their performance against PSG, Seedorf acknowledged it was impressive but identified a flaw in their game that could be hindering their progress.
The Dutch legend said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘What is that missing link to take that next step? Belief is one thing, but saying it is one thing and doing it is another.
‘I believe, in the second-half, they went back too much, too early. Those are the type of things you cannot permit in the Champions League.
‘Today PSG were not at their best but against another team you can suffer and they might score goals against you and the whole plan changes. But I believe they are a contender.’

I don’t know what’s all this fuss about “sitting back”.
Lille completely neutralized Real Madrid. And it wasn’t that Real were bad or anything, but Lille side were exceptional in everything they did on the pitch. They sat back and Real had no ideas what to do.
It’s a viable strat. At times I felt like I was watching Arsenal yesterday in Lille. They were brilliant.
