Tevez Scores Four Goals, Leads World XI Comeback at Old Trafford

Carlos Tevez, former Manchester United and Manchester City striker, stole the show at the 2025 Soccer Aid charity match at Old Trafford by scoring four goals in a remarkable comeback for the World XI, overturning a 3-0 deficit to win 5-4 against England. Despite his impressive performance, Tevez was widely booed by Manchester United fans who still resent his controversial 2009 transfer from United to their rivals, Man City. His goals sparked mixed reactions, with Manchester City supporters praising his skill and fitness, while many United fans expressed anger not only at his appearance but also at the playing of Liverpool's anthem over the tannoy. The match featured notable moments including a late winner from rapper Big Zuu and a severe ankle injury to YouTuber Morgan Burtwistle, also known as Angry Ginge, following a heavy challenge from Tevez. The event, which raised over £15 million for UNICEF, was marked by entertainment and tension, highlighting lingering football rivalries and the enduring impact of Tevez's career choices. Overall, Tevez's performance rekindled old rivalries but also showcased his enduring talent and ability to influence high-profile charity football events.
