Ruben Kluivert follows in the family footsteps, while younger brother Shane makes strides with FC Barcelona | OneFootball

Ruben Kluivert scored his first European goal last night. The Olympique Lyon defender headed in the game’s second goal, as his side beat Red Bull Salzburg 2-0.

With his first goal in continental competition, the 24-year-old centre-back joins his father Patrick and brother Justin, as another Kluivert to have scored on the European stage.

His father Patrick, who is currently in the coaching hot seat with Indonesia, scored 28 goals in the Champions League, including that infamous strike as an 18-year-old substitute for Ajax in the Champions League final against AC Milan. The striker also scored 10 goals in the UEFA Cup and one in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League.

Brother Justin, 26, has three Europa League goals and two Champions League goals to his name, although isn’t currently playing in Europe for Bournemouth.

Excitement continues to grow for the footballing family, as a fourth Kluivert is on the way. Eighteen-year-old Shane Kluivert, the son of Patrick Kluivert and stylist Rossana Lima, impressed this week.

He scored a stunning goal for Barcelona’s Under-19 team in the UEFA Youth League against Paris Saint-Germain as the Blaugrana ended up winning 2-1. Shane is an international for the Dutch Under-19 team and has been in Barcelona’s renowned youth academy since 2017, having previously played for PSG and Buitenveldert.
