Paz has also dazzled on the continental stage in the UEFA Youth League, netting five goals before the young Whites were knocked out in the quarterfinals by eventual champions AZ Alkmaar.

His performances have stunned several first-team stars and some at the club believe he is primed for a senior debut as Real Madrid’s La Liga title hopes fade.
Nico Paz Could Light up the Bernabeu
With Los Blancos focusing on cup competitions, manager Carlo Ancelotti could give Paz a run of opportunities to keep his key players fresh, starting this weekend against Almeria.
The prodigious Paz has the footballing world abuzz with anticipation at the potential of the latest jewel in Real Madrid’s crown.
His vision, technique and goalscoring prowess from midfield have many tipping him to become a future star at the Santiago Bernabeu. Opposition defences beware – a new Galacticos era may be dawning.
