Striker Christian Benteke speaks to Simon Stone about being top scorer in the MLS and why he has not ruled out playing for Belgium again.
Even at the age of 33, with 17 years as a professional behind him including 280 Premier League appearances and 45 Belgium caps, Major League Soccer’s Golden Boot winner Christian Benteke can still find inspiration in Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
But the striker is focused. He has signed on at DC for another year and is determined to be in the best shape possible when the 2025 campaign comes around in February. Benteke does not crave attention the way he once did. Away from the field, he is quite happy to live a "normal" life. Relative anonymity in Washington is something he embraces.
"In the US you can train and as soon as your session is done, you can have a normal life, walking to the park, going to the mall, meet up without having to hide or feeling uncomfortable, just to be a normal guy.
