If any Belgian striker impressed last season, it was Christian Benteke. Top scorer in MLS, ahead of Lionel Messi, he was never called up for the Devils again.
With us, Christian Benteke has completely disappeared from the radar. However, last season, the Belgian striker scored 23 goals and finished the MLS championship as top scorer, ahead of Lionel Messi and his 20 goals.
Benteke currently plays at DC United, but he is no longer the Red Devil. In any case, he has not been selected since March 2022 and the friendly matches against Ireland and Burkina Faso, still under the orders of Roberto Martinez. A rather surprising decision from Domenico Tedesco.

Indeed, the Devils coach did not call up the Belgian top scorer of the calendar year, while Norman Bassette, rotation player at Coventry City, 16th in the Championship, joined the group. A disappointing situation for Christian Benteke, who however does not give up his dream of returning to the selection.
“I could bring something to the team, I’m sure. Goals, of course, but I can also help other players,” he said in the columns of There. “In the past, players playing in Qatar or China have also been called up.”
“America is not the end of the world, it is not a country without television or internet. Football there is more than decent and the best player in the world plays there: that deserves respect. But hey, I know how this world works With my departure to the United States, I apparently put an end to my international career”, he regretted.
