Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could finally share the same pitch, more than a decade after their rivalry captivated football fans around the world.

The possibility comes from a report by Argentina’s TyC Sports. Former footballer Carlos Tévez could invite both players to his farewell match in December, with the game expected to take place at La Bombonera, Boca Juniors’ home stadium and the ground where Tévez became an idol.

There has been no official confirmation or announcement of the farewell match. Even so, the prospect of seeing Messi and Ronaldo together has excited football supporters who spent years arguing over which player deserved the title of the greatest of all time.

Tévez played with Ronaldo during his time at Manchester United and shared Argentina’s national team with Messi. Together, Tévez and Messi won the football gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
