Nico Paz, the number ten for Como, netted the goal that temporarily made it 3-0 against Lens in their Champions League encounter. Instead of celebrating his strike, the player revealed a shirt featuring a black-and-white photograph of Jesus de Miguel.
De Miguel was a striker for Tenerife who tragically died following an on-field collision during a Spanish second-division match. The shirt worn by Paz bore the message "Rest in peace," highlighting a personal connection between the two players.
Paz was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, establishing a specific bond with the Canary Islands and the club where De Miguel played. This gesture served as a tribute from the Como forward to his fellow countryman who lost his life on the pitch.
