Aston Villa's Benteke intent on making Wembley scoring dream come true

Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke is determined to achieve his dream of scoring at Wembley this weekend.

Villa square off against Liverpool in a blockbuster FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley on Sunday and if the Villans are to emerge victorious on the day, their hopes will surely rest on the shoulders of Benteke.

The Belgian is most certainly thriving at the attention of a big semi-final and has stated that he is willing himself to hit the back of the net at English football's headquarters.

Benteke said: "I'm playing like I used to play before. I feel really good because I'm playing without pain. It's not just about scoring - it's about being able to play how I want to play now.

"I'm not dreaming (about scoring at Wembley) - I want to do it. I don't want a dream, I want to do it. I still think I can do more, in everything. I can't say I'm happy to be there now because I want to do more and more and more."
