Nicolás Paz Stars as Como Rout Lecce 3-0 in Serie A

His breakout form has revived Spanish talk of Real Madrid’s €9 million buyback for 2026.

Overview

  • Como beat Lecce 3-0 away on Matchday 17, with Nicolás Paz opening the scoring in the 20th minute.
  • His long-range left-footed strike deflected off Tiago Gabriel and deceived goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone.
  • Lecce players protested for an alleged arm infraction by Paz, yet VAR did not review the play and the goal stood.
  • Paz later assisted Anastasios Douvikas for the third goal and was chosen as player of the match.
  • The win moved Como to 27 points and roughly sixth place, while Paz reached six league goals and remains among the assist leaders as Spanish media revisit Real Madrid’s reported €9 million 2026 buyback clause.
