Messi and Ronaldo are two living legends of world football and they are still playing. At the peak of his career, Messi made a name for himself, winning a series of prestigious titles with Barcelona. Meanwhile, Ronaldo showed a very high level of class, regardless of whether he was wearing the shirt of MU, Real Madrid or Juventus.
In particular, during the period when Ronaldo played for Real Madrid (2009-2018), he had a fierce rivalry with Messi in many different arenas, competing for awards from the collective to the individual. A typical example is that in the period from 2008 (when Ronaldo was playing for MU) to 2021, Messi (8 times) and Ronaldo (5 times) took turns winning the Golden Ball and only once let the title fall into the hands of another player (Luka Modric in 2018).
Messi is currently playing in the United States for Inter Miami. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is shining at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and is still working hard to reach the super milestone of scoring 1,000 goals.
Messi and Ronaldo are not retired and they have never played together in any match. However, this could become a reality in the near future thanks to the idea of former Argentine player Carlos Tevez.
As for Tevez, he started his career at Boca Juniors (Argentina) and also retired from playing for this team in 2021. According to Argentine media, Tevez plans to hold a match to honor him at La Bombonera, Boca Juniors’ home stadium.
Notably, Tevez wants to invite Messi and Ronaldo to attend this special match and be his teammates. On the OLGA platform, Tevez said: “I will organize that match. The job is to find the right time. It is not easy but I will gather them. If Ronaldo agrees, I am ready to go pick him up myself if necessary.”
In addition to Messi and Ronaldo, Tevez also plans to invite Buffon, Van der Sar, Chiellini, Ferdinand, Pirlo, Riquelme and Rooney to this match. If Messi and Ronaldo agree, this will definitely be a performance that fans are looking forward to.
