Buenos Aires, Feb 1 (NA) – Argentine attacker for Como 1907, Nicolás Paz, broke down in tears after missing a decisive penalty in the goalless draw against Atalanta this Sunday, valid for the 23rd round of Italy's Serie A. According to Argentine News Agency, the former Real Madrid player took charge of the maximum penalty in favor of his team at the 53rd minute of the second half, with the match 0-0, but goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi saved the shot and unleashed the frustration of the albiceleste. Although Paz is in great scoring form and is a key player for coach Cesc Fabregas, and is considered by Lionel Scaloni for the 2026 World Cup with the Argentine national team, the forward born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, could not break his bad streak and missed his third consecutive shot from the penalty spot. After the match ended, Paz left the field in tears, consoled by his teammates and with the affection of the stadium that chanted his name. 'A thousand thanks from the heart for all the love,' the Argentine shared through his official Instagram account after what happened.
