It could be that Nacho simply doesn't like anyone touching his paw. Cats can be sensitive about having their paws touched, and if you aren't seeing any bleeding, swelling, or limping, then he may be one of those cats. To be safe, you can take him into the vet to have the paw examined just to make sure there is nothing wrong with it.
