Messi and Ronaldo could be seen playing for the same team in Tevez's farewell match!

One of the most talked-about duels in football history is between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. They have been rivals for more than a decade and a half. Now, there is a possibility that the two superstars will be seen in the same team jersey.

This possibility has arisen around the farewell match of former Argentine star Carlos Tevez. Plans are underway to organize a match in Tevez's honor at the famous Bombonera in Buenos Aires next December. Messi and Ronaldo are also on the list of invitees. If everything goes according to plan, this match will be the first time that the two football superstars can take the field for the same team.

Argentine media outlet Tinti Sports published the news. TYC Sports journalist Marcelo Palacios also gave the same information.

For Tevez, the match will be the official end of his colorful career. His last appearance in competitive football was for Boca Juniors in 2021. Although he announced his retirement the following year, in June 2022. But the 42-year-old former forward has not played an official farewell match for so long. This time he wants to fill that gap. It is reported that Boca Juniors president Juan Roman Riquelme has also given permission for this event.

After finishing his playing career, Tevez also stepped into coaching. He has served as manager of Rosario Central, Independiente and most recently, Tires. However, he is not currently signed to any club.

Why Messi-Ronaldo?

Tevez plans to invite about 60 of his teammates at different times in his career to the farewell match. Messi and Ronaldo are on that list.

Tevez played with Messi in the Argentina national team. And he spent his time with Ronaldo at Manchester United, from 2007 to 2009. As a result, the presence of the two stars in the same match could give Tevez's farewell ceremony a unique dimension.

However, it is still not certain whether Messi and Ronaldo will actually be able to take the field. Although Inter Miami's season is supposed to end at that time, there is a possibility that Saudi club Al Nasr will still have a game. As a result, the biggest challenge will be to match the schedules of the two.

However, if the plan is successful, football fans can get a rare sight—Messi and Ronaldo, not opponents; as teammates on the same team!
