Messi and Ronaldo Could Finally Play Together in Tevez Farewell Match

When the world of football dreams of a fantasy lineup, nothing comes closer than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo playing for the same team. That dream could finally come true, thanks to Carlos Tevez. The Argentine legend, who retired in 2022 at age 39, revealed on the ‘Olga’ podcast that he wants both Messi and Ronaldo to feature in his farewell match.

Tevez, who played alongside both players during his career, said confidently, “I’ll go and get them myself. I have them saved in my WhatsApp.” The friendly fixture could include several other football legends from Tevez's past teams like Edwin van der Sar, Buffon, Pirlo, Rooney, Riquelme, and more. Messi and Ronaldo have faced off 36 times officially, with Messi holding a slight edge: 16 wins to Ronaldo’s 11, and nine draws.

Messi also leads the goal count with 22 to Ronaldo’s 21. Although the logistics remain uncertain, Tevez’s bold plan has reignited excitement among fans. If successful, this would mark the first time the two global icons share the same jersey, a moment that could be one of the most memorable in football history.
