Football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi might finally share the same pitch as teammates and the possibility of this happening has left the fans buzzing on social media. Former Argentina forward
Carlos Tevez is organizing his farewell match at Boca Juniors’ legendary La Bombonera stadium in Buenos Aires this December. Tevez, who has played with Messi for the national team and shared the dressing room with Ronaldo at Manchester United wants both icons in his side for the special occasion. The plan is still taking shape. Tevez has already spoken with Boca president Juan Roman Riquelme, who has given the green light for the game to be staged at the iconic venue.
Possible dates in mid-to-late December are being discussed so the fixture does not clash with Boca’s domestic schedule. Around sixty former teammates and friends from Tevez’s career are expected to take part turning the night into a star-studded celebration of one of Argentina’s most passionate players. For the first time in their careers, the two greatest players of their generation could play for the same team. Messi and Ronaldo have faced each other countless times in club and international matches, but never as team mates. Tevez has stayed in touch with both men and has made it clear he intends to bring them together. Whether they accept remains to be seen yet the mere prospect has already made a buzz on social media.

Cristiano Ronaldo Moves Closer to 1000 Career Goals as Historic Milestone Comes Into Sight
Cristiano Ronaldo has begun the 2026-27 campaign still operating at a remarkable level for a 41-year-old. After helping Al-Nassr claim the Saudi Pro League title last season with 28 league goals, the Portuguese forward has already added to his tally in the early weeks of the new term. He currently sits on 978 career goals and needs just 22 more to reach the historic 1000 mark. It seemed very tough that a player could approach that number in official senior football, yet Ronaldo continues to get near the target with the same hunger he showed as a teenager at Sporting CP. His scoring run stretches across 25 consecutive seasons which is another record that belongs to him.
In the new Saudi season he has already smashed goals twice in the opening matches, including a decisive goal that helped Al-Nassr stay near the top of the table. Even in a recent 2-1 defeat to Al-Ittihad he played the full 90 minutes and showed no signs of slowing down. With Al-Nassr’s domestic fixtures and possible continental commitments still remaining and the international appearances for Portugal he has a realistic path to reach the landmark before the end of 2026. Ronaldo has already hinted this could be his final professional season.
