Latest news in Argentine soccer. Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could share a team for the first time in their careers in the farewell match of Carlos Tévez, scheduled for December 2026 at La Bombonera. The former Argentine forward wants to bring both players together in an international team, although their appearances are not yet confirmed.

Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo invited to Tévez's tribute

As reported by Infobae, Tévez has received approval from Juan Román Riquelme, president of Boca Juniors, to proceed with organizing the tribute at the Xeneize stadium. The match will take place after the end of the Argentine soccer season.

The proposed date is December 20, although the final schedule is yet to be confirmed. The planning depends on various factors, including when Boca's participation in competitions concludes towards the end of the year.

Carlos Tévez's idea is to gather former teammates from his different professional stages. Among the names he aims to summon are Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, with whom he shared the dressing room at different points in his career.

Tévez has stated that he is willing to personally reach out to both players to invite them. His goal is for them to be part of the same team during the tribute, a possibility that would make the match one of the main attractions of the day.

Carlos Tévez aims to bring them together on the same team

Tévez's relationship with the two players makes the invitation easier. The former forward played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United from 2007 to 2009, while he shared the Argentina national team with Messi for several seasons.

If both agree, the match would provide a unique sight: Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo wearing the same jersey in a game. For years, their careers were associated with the rivalry between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, especially during their time in Spanish soccer.

The planned format would pit a team linked to the 2003 Intercontinental Cup-winning Boca Juniors, led by Carlos Bianchi at the time, against a selection of international figures associated with Tévez's career. The final list of participants is still pending confirmation.

The tribute could also gather other former teammates of the Argentine, including players he shared squads with in the national team, European clubs, and during his various periods at Boca. The organization aims to combine the match with activities and musical performances.

Date and invitations awaiting confirmation

Carlos Tévez's farewell comes after the ex-player retired from professional soccer in 2022 without a tribute match at La Bombonera. Riquelme's approval allows progress with the project, but doesn't guarantee all guests have confirmed their participation.

In Messi's case, his commitments with Inter Miami will be a crucial factor in determining his availability in December. Cristiano Ronaldo's situation also needs to align with his club's schedule, so the presence of both will depend on their respective agendas.

The upcoming weeks should solidify the date and finalize the invitations. Until then, the chance to see Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on the same team hinges on both accepting Tévez's invitation and being able to attend La Bombonera.
