Shane netted for Barcelona in the UEFA Youth League, Justin for Bournemouth in the Premier League and Ruben scored for OL in the Ligue 1

Patrick Kluivert once made Europe tremble with his goals. Now, his sons are carrying the torch - and they've just delivered a family hat-trick across three different competitions!

Wednesday: Shane Kluivert, just 18, bent in a beauty for Barca's U19s to sink PSG in the UEFA Youth League.

Thursday: Ruben, 24, nodded home his first goal for Lyon in a Europa League victory over Salzburg.

Friday: Justin, 26, hit a stunner for Bournemouth in the Premier League, sealing a 3-1 win over Fulham.

Three days. Three goals. Three brothers.

Patrick himself knows what it means to shine young. In 1995, he became the youngest player to score in a Champions League final, giving Ajax the trophy against Milan. Then came Barca glory, a spell at Newcastle, and 40 goals for the Netherlands.

Now, the family name is back in the spotlight. From garden kickabouts to top-level football, the Kluiverts are proving talent runs deep.

Justin summed it up: "My little brother Shane wants to be like me, just like I wanted to be like my dad. With a father like that, you can’t escape football."

The dynasty continues.
