Former Real Madrid player, Nico Paz, did not hesitate to state that he would like to share the field with the 'pearl' of FC Barcelona, Lamine Yamal

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Talking about Nico Paz is referring to one of those players that Real Madrid has not been able to take full advantage of, giving him few opportunities to exploit his talent in the first team. This lack of continuity in his game has led the Spanish-Argentine 'player' to look for his place in another team, with the aim of shining in the international football scene. The destination? Como 1907, a team tactically directed by Cesc Fàbregas.

In the 'Lariano' team, Nico Paz has had a very interesting 2024-25 season. The player from Santa Cruz de Tenerife has managed to score six goals and provide seven assists in 30 matches, establishing himself as one of the most outstanding players in the team.

His versatility has been key: he is a versatile left-footed player who can play as an attacking midfielder or on either side, being an unbalancing piece in the last third of the field. Likewise, his ability to dribble, his creative vision and his role as a 'playmaker' have made him a great surprise of the season.

Nico Paz's respect for Lamine Yamal: a nod to the talent of FC Barcelona

In a recent interview with the official channel of Como 1907, Nico Paz surprised with one of his most striking statements. When asked which player he would like to have as a teammate, the Argentine mentioned one of the great current stars of FC Barcelona:

"If I could choose which player I would like to play with? I have already had the fortune to play at Real Madrid, the best club in the world, and to do so with people like Vinicius or Bellingham. If I had to name another one now, I would say Lamine Yamal: he is one of the best in the world"

What was striking was not only the mention of Lamine Yamal, who today is considered one of the great 'cracks' in the world, but the fact that he is an asset of FC Barcelona, the great rival of Real Madrid, the team that Nico Paz is from the youth academy. This statement reinforces the idea that, despite his past at the white club, the '79' of Como maintains a high respect for the talent of other players, regardless of the shirt they wear.

His connection with Lionel Messi: a unique experience in the Argentine national team

A connection with Barcelonismo that Nico Paz also establishes when talking about the best footballer in history, the legend of FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi, with whom he had the opportunity to share the field in a match of the 'Albiceleste' national team: "Coinciding with Messi was the best moment of my life so far. It was crazy to be able to assist the best player in history, in my debut! With Leo's age, I thought I would not get to coincide with him. I am happy and grateful to have lived that moment," he concluded.
