Seedorf told The Sports Agents: “I hope it is belief, and that’s not something else. You know, we know how psychology is; it’s very profound.

“But they were, in my opinion, competitive enough that I can see them winning the next matches upcoming,” he added.
“They have all the reasons to still have that high energy, because it’s still in the Champions League semi-final. You know, there’s no reason for Arsenal not to believe in themselves.”
