Tevez relishing Messi reunion

Carlos Tevez is looking forward to facing former Argentina team-mate Lionel Messi when Boca Juniors meet Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Trophy match at Camp Nou.

Tevez played alongside five-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi for Argentina as the 34-year-old earned 76 caps on the international stage.

"It is always beautiful to play against him," Tevez told reporters.

"When I played together with him, that made me happy.

"So to be able to confront him or have a closer look at him now, it will make me happy too."

Messi, 31, became Barca's most decorated player on Sunday with his 33rd trophy after the Spanish side defeated Sevilla 2-1 in the Supercopa de Espana.
