Patrick Kluivert took a penalty against Italy at Euro 2000. The ball hit the left post. He missed.
26 years later, on June 29, his son Justin Kluivert faced Morocco at the World Cup. Same high-pressure scenario, same fate: the ball once again crashed against the left post.
Not even Justin himself could have known that he was repeating, almost in detail, his father’s mistake from so many years earlier. Football sometimes writes these coincidences that not even the best screenwriter could imagine, and this one will remain etched in the history of the Kluivert family forever. ⚽️👨👦
