After being a surprise addition to the LA Galaxy roster late in the 2020 campaign, goalkeeper Jonathan Klinsmann was back for his first full season in 2021 and primarily served as the backup to Jonathan Bond.
I’m guessing they went by “Klinsy” and “Bondy” in training to differentiate between themselves, and I think all in all, Bond played at a pretty high level throughout the season and seemed like the right call as the No. 1. Still, Klinsmann got a few games at first team level to stay sharp this year.
Klinsmann posted a 1-1-1 record in his three starts, and while the sample size was limited, his numbers were improvements compared to his stats in limited time in 2020.
