AMSTERDAM - More than 20 years after the soccer world watched schoolboy Patrick Kluivert lead Ajax to Champions League glory, his son Justin is bidding to help the Dutch giant into the Europa League final.
Justin Kluivert, 17, is turning heads in the Ajax red and white and some say he's even more skillful than the father, who went on to enjoy a brilliant career with AC Milan and Barcelona and is now sports director at Paris Saint-Germain.
The kid even looks the spitting image of his father in that unforgettable final, running on to Frank Rijkaard's pass to give Ajax a 1-0 1995 European final win over Milan before he had even left high school.
