Nico Paz, after scoring his first goal for Madrid: "I had the courage and I hit the ball"

Nico Paz grabbed his first goal for Real Madrid in the game against Napoli, the team's third goal against the Italian side, with a powerful left-footed strike from outside the box. After the game, the academy player expressed his delight: “I'm delighted, this is a dream for me. For a moment I couldn't believe it. I'm so happy to be able to help the team. I had the courage. I was in automatic mode, I didn't even know what I was doing. I hit it and yeah, I was amazed, to tell you the truth.”

“My teammates are even happier than I am. I want to thank them for their support. We have one of the best academies, if not the best. We're here to help. This is also a message to the other academy players: it's possible to get to the next level. Ancelotti congratulated me, and so has the whole squad. They're an incredible group and I want to thank them all.”
