In addition to being left-handed, having the number 10 on their shirt and having played for FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona have a curious coincidence on the day they put on the Argentina team shirt for the first time. Many will say that it is coincidence, chance or something of destiny but the reality is that both played for the first time against the same team.

Diego Maradona debuted on February 2, 1977 in a friendly match that the Argentine team played against Hungary. At that time Diego Maradona was only 16 years and 4 months old and he had not been playing for the first team of Argentinos Juniors for 6 months. That day began the love story between the Argentine team and Diego Maradona.
Lionel Messi's first game was not the one desired by the FC Barcelona player as he was expelled 43 seconds after entering the game. At the age of 18, Lionel Messi played his first game with Argentina against Hungary, the same rival as Diego Maradona. This data surprises everyone who knows it.
