(Video) Christian Benteke misses open goal in Belgium friendly

Posted by

Christian Benteke is developing himself a very unwanted reputation as a misser of the simplest chances.

Time and time again last term the £32.5m striker fluffed one-on-one opportunities for Liverpool, part of the reason he fell down Jurgen Klopp’s pecking order – and in a recent Belgium friendly – Benteke repeated the trick…

Starting up top against Finland, Benteke simply had to tap in Kevin De Bruyne’s cross to equalise in a pre-Euro 2016 friendly – but deflected wide.

Romelu Lukaku came off the bench and made it 1-1, suggesting the Everton man will be starting ahead of him in France.

Interestingly, a report in the Times claims Chelsea want Lukaku as the first-choice striker target this summer, but will turn to Benteke should they miss out.

How much would you expect for the forward…?
