"Boca Juniors" legend Carlos Tevez has announced joyous news to football fans - Portugal national team star Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina football legend Lionel Messi will play together in one team for the first time.

The historic event will be recorded at the famous "La Bombonera" stadium.

As reported by "Foot Mercato," Messi and Ronaldo will appear together on the pitch at Tevez's farewell match in December 2026, which will take place in Buenos Aires.

This will be a special moment for the Argentine, who has played alongside both football legends during his career.

He was Messi's teammate in the Argentina national team, and Ronaldo's at Manchester United.

"I have always dreamed of seeing Cristiano and Lionel in one team. They are the best footballers of all time. I contacted Cristiano and told him: 'I want you and Messi to play in one team during my farewell match. I want the whole world to see this magic at least once,'" Tevez said.

According to the Argentine, Ronaldo immediately agreed to participate.

"He said he would come. It wasn't hard to convince Lionel either.

They both agreed, so I am very happy. Incredible matches await us," Tevez added.
