Barcelona’s Wonderkid Yamal Sparks Relationship Drama with Pop Star

An innocuous or breakup gesture? After scoring in Barcelona’s resounding Champions League victory over Olympiacos (6-1), Lamine Yamal shared a photo on social media with Argentine pop star Nicki Nicole and her young brother. But shortly after, he deleted the post, without providing any explanation to his followers. Long before this act, the 18-year-old striker celebrated his goal by sending a kiss towards the stands. According to Hoyos, this gesture was intended for Nicki Nicole, who was in the audience and reacted by pretending to catch it.

Fans noticed the exchange, both in the stadium and online. However, the deletion of this photo leaves room for several interpretations. Some believe the young player may have received advice from the club to keep his private life to himself, while others mention a likely personal disagreement between the couple.

Yamal and Nicki Nicole have been publicly displaying their relationship since the summer. The Argentine singer was among the celebrities present at the birthday party organized by the Barcelona star on July 13 in Rocafonda for his 18th birthday. The two lovebirds have since taken a trip to Monaco and posed together. Nicki Nicole is six years older than Lamine.
