Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Sports Service: Carlos Tevez officially hung up his boots and retired from football in 2021, but football owes him an unfulfilled debt to his illustrious career: a magnificent farewell match in Buenos Aires. The passionate former Albiceleste star wants to make the most impossible dream in football history come true and send Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, his former teammates in the Argentina national team and Manchester United, on the field together.
The match is set to take place in December at the legendary La Bombonera stadium, the historic home of Boca Juniors and where Apache (Toz's nickname) was born and raised. The exact date for the match has not yet been finalized, but preparations are underway.
Toz has been dreaming of experiencing such a night since last year, saying: "They have to play together." When asked if there was any chance of convincing the Portuguese superstar to travel to Argentina, he replied in his usual bully-like tone: "I'll go myself and bring Cristiano."
Now the grand project has entered its final stages. Invitations have been sent to Messi and Ronaldo, and if both legends accept the invitation, for the first time in history, the Green Rectangle will see two superstars who have divided the world into two rival camps for two decades team up. The last time Leo and Chris shared the field on the same pitch was in Riyadh on January 19, 2023; a friendly match between Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Nasr and Al-Hilal, which ended with the Parisians winning 5-4. That night, Messi scored one goal and Ronaldo scored two goals with a better performance.
Carlos Tevez said goodbye to football in 2021 at his former home, Boca Juniors, after a brilliant career with the shirts of Boca Juniors, Corinthians, West Ham, Manchester United, Manchester City, Juventus and Shanghai Shenhua. With 76 international caps and 13 international goals for Argentina, he has a history of winning the 2004 Athens Olympic gold medal, three Copa América runners-up, winning the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana with Boca and, of course, winning the 2008 Champions League with the Red Devils in his hall of fame.
Tevez entered the world of coaching in 2022 and has experienced the management of Rosario Central, Independiente and Talleres.
From now on, the football world will be watching December and the La Bombonera Stadium. All football fans, whether Messi fans or Ronaldo lovers, are anxious to see if Apache will succeed in making the greatest miracle in the history of modern football a reality; that is, will we really see Messi and Ronaldo playing together and wearing the same team shirt before they say goodbye?
