Liverpool star Emre Can is set to achieve his childhood dream of playing in Wembley following the Reds win over Blackburn Rovers.

The Reds secured a place in the FA Cup semi-final following the 1-0 win against Rovers on Wednesday 8 April.

“It’s a very well respected stadium back in Germany,” Can told the official Liverpool website.

“The final of the Champions League was there in 2013 and I was there, but didn’t play.

“I’ve followed the FA Cup since I was a kid. It’s a great cup competition and there’s a great chance to get to the final.”
