Football fans around the world might soon witness the impossible — Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi playing on the same team. Carlos Tevez, the Argentine legend, is planning a star-studded farewell match at La Bombonera, and he wants his two former teammates to headline the spectacle.
Speaking on the streaming platform Olga, Tevez confirmed that organizing the match is in motion, though a date has yet to be decided. “I’m going to do it. I probably will do it. We just have to figure out when. It’s not easy,”
When asked whether Messi and Ronaldo would be on opposing sides for the testimonial, Tevez smiled and said, “We’ll get them together.” He added, “Leo will surely come. Ronaldo is saved in my contacts as CR7, and Leo as ‘El Enano.’”
Which other players will be part of Carlos Tevez's farewell game?
The farewell game is shaping up to be a gathering of football royalty. Tevez mentioned that goalkeeping icons Edwin van der Sar and Gianluigi Buffon are likely to feature, along with defensive greats Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, and Patrice Evra.
Midfield maestros such as Andrea Pirlo, Paul Scholes, and Juan Roman Riquelme are also expected, alongside longtime teammate Wayne Rooney. The match is set to take place at La Bombonera, home of Boca Juniors — the club where Tevez began and ended his playing career and where he now serves as coach.
Has Tevez played with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo?
Tevez played alongside Messi for Argentina for over a decade, forming a crucial part of the national team between 2005 and 2015. His time with Ronaldo came earlier, during their stint together at Manchester United from 2007 to 2009.
