🎥 Remembering Patrick Kluivert's international brilliance on his birthday | OneFootball

For many football fans, Patrick Kluivert defined a generation.

As a Champions League winner with Ajax, the forward became a household name before enjoying a similarly star-studded spell in Barcelona's front line.

Kluivert's mercurial talent on the international stage was often overlooked due to the Netherlands falling short at several major tournaments during his peak.

But as he celebrates his 49th birthday, it's worth appreciating one of his finest moments of hitting a hat-trick in a 6-1 hammering of Yugoslavia at EURO 2000.

The Oranje's no.9 showcased his finesse to help Frank Rijkaard's side into the semi finals of the tournament jointly hosted in their homeland a quarter of a century ago.

Ronald Koeman is fortunate enough to have a sprinkling of Kluivert's magic at his disposal in Bournemouth winger Justin, who has followed in his father's footsteps.
