Patrick Kluivert's senior career could not have started any better, as the Dutch striker starred in the Ajax team that won the 1995 Champions League, with the 18-year-old Kluivert scoring the winner against AC Milan who was the reigning champions at the time.

Patrick finished fifth in that season's Ballon d'Or, cementing his place as not only one of the world's best youngsters but one of the greatest strikers on the planet at the time. The young Patrick Kluivert was the 90's answer to Kylian Mbappe, with both players playing for top clubs and winning the major prizes during their teenage years.

Justin, however, has started to make moves of his own, with the Dutch winger playing regular first-team football last season for Ajax. The 19-year-old contributed 15 goals in 30 appearances in the 2017/18 campaign, as the former European champions finished second in the Eredivisie.

His exploits in the Dutch league earnt plaudits and recognition from around the continent as Kluivert set his sights on Champions League football. The winger moved to A.S. Roma this summer for a fee of 17.25 million Euros, a relatively small fee given the prices charged for players these days.
