A football reunion of historic proportions could be on the cards, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly invited to Carlos Tevez’s planned farewell match at La Bombonera in December.

According to reports from Argentina, Tevez is preparing a star-studded farewell event at the iconic Boca Juniors stadium, where he began and finished his illustrious playing career. TyC Sports has confirmed that Tevez will hold his farewell match in December, although the exact date is yet to be finalized.

The possibility of Messi and Ronaldo appearing at the same event has generated huge excitement. If both accept the invitation, it could create the extraordinary possibility of the two modern-era legends playing on the same side for the first time.

Tevez has a unique connection with both superstars. He shared the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo 80 times at Manchester United, while he played 47 matches alongside Lionel Messi with Argentina.

During their time together at Manchester United, Tevez and Ronaldo formed part of Sir Alex Ferguson's successful side, including the team that won the 2008 UEFA Champions League. Their partnership produced eight combined goals, according to Transfermarkt data.

Tevez's international relationship with Messi was equally significant. The pair played together 47 times for Argentina and were involved in 10 combined goals.

The farewell match would therefore bring together three players with a remarkable shared history. Tevez played alongside Ronaldo at club level and Messi at international level, making him one of the few footballers to have experienced both sides of the famous rivalry from inside the dressing room.

While Messi and Ronaldo's participation has not been officially confirmed, the prospect alone has created enormous anticipation among football fans.

With La Bombonera as the stage and Tevez looking to bring together former teammates and friends from across his career, the December farewell could become one of the most memorable football reunions in Argentina.
