Alejandro Garnacho lives the most special moments of his short career as a soccer player. The last 24 hours, social networks have been invaded with clips of Garnacho's great goal, during Manchester United vs Everton, where with a spectacular bicycle kick he scored his team's first goal. In addition, the goal was accompanied by a special celebration, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Until recently, Alejandro Garnacho earned 450 thousand euros a year, however, with his last contract renewal with Manchester United, his salary went to 2.9 million pounds sterling, at just 19 years of age, he is already one of the main figures of the Red Devil group.

So, how much did Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi earn when they were barely 19 years old? When Cristiano Ronaldo signed his professional contract with Sporting Lisbon, in Portugal, he only had a contract of 2 thousand dollars per month. Later, when Manchester United signed him, he started earning 1.8 million a year.

How much did Messi earn?

On the other hand, Lionel Andres Messi in 2008, when he was going to turn 19, was already earning 8 million euros, because only one year later he would win his first Ballon d'Or, already being at a superlative level at FC Barcelona... Now, he earns around 50 million at Inter Miami!
