<\/p>\nIn his interview with Koora, Kluivert predicts the winner of El Cl\u00e1sico and the Champions League.<\/p>\n
When asked about the Netherlands’ World Cup prospects, Kluivert told Koora, “The Dutch national team is very strong right now. According to the FIFA rankings, they are in the top six, but when I look at the players and the clubs they represent, I believe they have the potential to reach the quarter-finals if everything goes well.”<\/p>\n
He added, “With Argentina, Brazil, Spain and France in the mix, among these heavyweights the Netherlands are a side to watch out for at the World Cup. I think they could reach the quarter-finals at the very least.”<\/p>\n
The Dutch national team reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, but were narrowly eliminated by Argentina. Lionel Messi’s side prevailed on penalties after a 2\u20132 draw through 120 minutes.<\/p>\n
Asked who might win the 2026 World Cup, the former Dutch star replied: “It’s hard to pick just one, but Argentina, France and Brazil are all strong. Still, I think France have a good chance.”<\/p>\n
Asked to name a likely Golden Boot winner, he added, “It might be Harry Kane (England striker).”<\/p>\n
