Carlos Tevez Plans Historic Farewell Match to Unite Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as Teammates
Former Argentina forward Carlos Tevez, who is organizing a historic testimonial match at La Bombonera in December 2026.

Argentine football icon Carlos Tevez is pursuing an unprecedented milestone in modern football history by aiming to field both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on the same team for his upcoming official farewell match.

Tevez, who announced his retirement in 2022 after an illustrious career featuring UEFA Champions League and domestic league titles with Manchester United, Juventus, and Boca Juniors, received formal permission from Boca Juniors President Juan Román Riquelme to host his testimonial at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires.

Target scheduling points to December 20, 2026, for the showcase match, which is structured to pit a Boca Juniors XI against a "Rest of the World" legend squad. Having shared the international pitch with Messi in 47 matches for Argentina and formed a lethal frontline with Ronaldo across 80 matches at Manchester United, Tevez confirmed on Argentine streaming channel OLGA that both superstars—alongside icons like Gianluigi Buffon, Rio Ferdinand, Andrea Pirlo, and Paul Scholes—are on his personal invitation list.
