Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona are two great players in the history of football and both were world champions with the Argentina National Team. Both started from the bottom and now compete for the number one podium in the King of Sports. But look what they spent their first salary on.

 

First, Diego Maradona, who managed to lead the Argentine National Team and play for teams such as Boca Juniors, Newell's, FC Barcelona, Napoli, among other clubs, spent his first salary on a pizza, according to information from Infobae. El Pelusa, as he was known in the world of football, went to a pizzeria with his first salary and invited his family.

On the other hand, Lionel Messi decided to buy a house in Barcelona, Spain, because at that time in the team's youth academy, his father was living in an uncomfortable room. Therefore, La Pulga wanted to buy a house with his first salary, so he could live with his father in his early years in a different city, according to information from Yahoo.
