Messi and Ronaldo could finally play together for first time after special invite
Carlos Tevez is planning a star-studded farewell match at Boca Juniors’ La Bombonera, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both invited. Tevez hopes to reunite the longtime rivals as teammates for one night, alongside legends including Rooney, Scholes, Pirlo, Ferdinand, Vidic, Buffon and Van der Sar. The Argentine says he is confident he can persuade both superstars to attend.
The prospect of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi playing together in a farewell match for Carlos Tevez has football fans buzzing with excitement. According to Argentine outlet TyC Sports, Tevez is planning a star-studded event at Boca Juniors' La Bombonera stadium in December. Boca president Juan Román Riquelme has agreed to make the iconic venue available for the occasion, though the exact date is still being finalized.
The weekends of December 12-13 and December 19-20 are being considered, depending on Boca Juniors' schedule and the conclusion of the Argentine league season.
Tevez intends to invite approximately 60 players and notable football personalities who have been part of his illustrious career. The proposed format suggests one team could consist of friends from football and his neighborhood, while the opposing team would feature players who shared the dressing room with him at various stages of his career.
The biggest intrigue surrounding the event is the potential inclusion of Messi and Ronaldo. Reports suggest that Messi is among the players Tevez wishes to invite, and Ronaldo, who played alongside Tevez at Manchester United, could also receive an invitation.
If both Messi and Ronaldo accept the invitation, the possibility of the two football icons lining up on the same side during Tevez's farewell match would be an extraordinary sight. Such a reunion would bring together two players who have dominated world football for over a decade, bringing their talents together in a unique and unforgettable display.
Tevez's decorated career includes stints with Boca Juniors, West Ham United, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Juventus, as well as representing Argentina. He retired from professional football in June 2022 after a career marked by 11 major titles, 94 goals, and 279 appearances. Tevez has since moved into coaching, leading teams such as Rosario Central, Independiente, and Talleres Córdoba.
The ongoing debate over Messi's future, including the possibility of him playing for Inter Miami again, adds an extra layer of intrigue to this potential collaborative event.
