Messi and Riquelme to attend Tévez's farewell at La Bombonera

Messi and Riquelme to attend Tévez's farewell at La Bombonera Two more stars have been confirmed for Carlos Tévez’s farewell match at La Bombonera, and they are none other than Lionel Messi and Juan Román Riquelme . The match will take place on December 20. In an interview with Rio Ferdinand , Carlos Tévez confirmed that “Riquelme and Messi will be there.” The Englishman confirmed that he, too, would take part in the farewell match. “I’m going, I’m training,” Ferdinand said. The farewell match will pit ‘Boca’ against ‘Tévez’s Friends’, with the teams made up of players who played alongside El Apache at various clubs throughout his career and during his spells at Boca Juniors. Carlitos and Ferdinand’s conversation was part of the Rio Ferdinand Presents series, in which they looked back on their years in England, their relationship with Alex Ferguson and why El Apache left for Manchester City. The two were teammates at United between 2007 and 2009, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star’s attendance remains one of the biggest question marks surrounding the farewell match. Tévez wants him to be there, but his participation has yet to be confirmed. Alongside Riquelme and Messi, several others have already been confirmed for Tévez’s farewell match: Gabriel Batistuta, Martín Palermo, Gianluigi Buffon, Sergio Agüero, Arturo Vidal, Edwin van der Sar, Patrice Evra, Esteban Cambiasso, Roberto Mancini, Sebastián Battaglia, Diego Cagna, Pablo Zabaleta and Nicolás Burdisso.
