Nico Paz continues to underline his breakout season with Como 1907, reaching 20 goal contributions in all competitions after another decisive display. The attacking midfielder has been central to Como’s attacking identity, combining creativity with a growing goal threat that has made him one of Serie A’s standout young players this campaign.
In today’s clash against US Sassuolo, Como fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat, but Paz still found the net, scoring just before halftime to keep his side in the game. Sassuolo struck twice in quick succession through Cristian Volpato and M’Bala Nzola, and despite Como dominating possession and pushing hard in the second half, they were unable to find an equaliser.
Even in defeat, Paz’s influence remained undeniable. He was one of the most active players on the pitch, leading the attacking efforts and continuing a remarkable season where he consistently delivers both goals and assists. His performances have not only boosted Como’s push for European football but also highlighted his importance as the team’s creative engine.
A major factor behind Como’s rise has been the impact of head coach Cesc Fàbregas. Since taking charge, Fàbregas has transformed the team into one of Serie A’s most exciting sides, guiding them into the top-five race and a Coppa Italia semi-final. His attacking philosophy has allowed talents like Paz to flourish, turning Como from underdogs into genuine contenders and one of the stories of the season.
