Being a goalkeeper is arguably the most unforgiving position in football, but Jonathan Klinsmann couldn’t have asked for a better training partner growing up than his World Cup -winning dad, Jurgen.
Klinsmann, 25, made his first start of the 2023 season, turning out in between the sticks for LA Galaxy against Portland Timbers on Saturday. The shot-stopper replaced first-choice Jonathan Bond in the 24th minute in the 1-1 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps on March 19.
Bond is expected to be out for four weeks, handing Klinsmann a rare run of games for Galaxy. He kept a clean sheet in his first start of the 2023 season, and even pulled off a wonder save in the 89th minute, making himself big, to keep the score level.
