Messi's heir is ready! Nico Paz puts on a show against Manchester United
Como attacking midfielder Nico Paz is delivering an unforgettable individual masterclass in the ongoing UEFA Champions League clash against Manchester United, propelling the Italian side to a commanding 3-0 lead.
Details: The 22-year-old Argentine playmaker has already registered two goals and one assist before the hour mark at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Paz stunned Michael Carrick's men in the 2nd minute, shifting the ball onto his left foot and curling a clinical strike into the far corner from the edge of the box.
Right after the interval, in the 48th minute, Paz sliced open United's defense with a pinpoint through ball to set up Anastasios Douvikas for Como's second goal. Just eight minutes later, in the 56th minute, the Argentine talent capitalized on a turnover from Carlos Baleba, surged into the penalty area, and calmly slotted his second goal of the night past Senne Lammens to make it 3-0.
It is worth noting that with these contributions, Nico Paz has now recorded 4 goals and 5 assists across 10 appearances for Cesc Fàbregas's side this season. According to Transfermarkt, the player's market value currently stands at €80 million.
Reminder: What a response! Cesc Fabregas blasts Manchester United question and defends Michael Carrick.
