Ex-Manchester United star Carlos Tevez has revealed he intends to set up a match between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

In a recent interview with Olgaenvivo, Tevez revealed he hoped to bring the legendary pair together for his farewell match, saying:
"Yes, I’ll definitely do my farewell match. We just need to find the right time. I want to bring Cristiano and Messi together.”

When Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson weighed in on the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi debate
In 2015, legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson gave his opinion on the debate about the greatest player of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. The Scottish manager hailed both players for their legendary abilities but leaned towards the Portuguese superstar he managed during his time with the Red Devils.
In an interview at the time with the Manchester Evening News, the Old Trafford legend said via sportBIBLE:
"People say who is the best player in the world? And plenty of people quite rightly say Messi - you can't dispute that opinion. But Ronaldo could play for Millwall, Queens Park Rangers, Doncaster Rovers, anyone, and score a hat-trick in a game. I'm not sure Messi could do it. Ronaldo's got two feet, he's quick, great in the air, he's brave - Messi's brave, of course. I think Messi's a Barcelona player."
The debate over the greatest player between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi has raged for over a decade, thanks to the pair's unrivaled achievements in the sport. The pair have won every prize in European club football on multiple occasions and have inspired millions across the planet in the process.
