A Post That Lasted Only Minutes

Young FC Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has found himself in the spotlight again—but this time, not for his performances on the field. Following his team’s victory over Olympiacos, the Spanish striker shared a picture on social media alongside his girlfriend, Argentine pop star Nicki Nicole, and his younger brother. However, the post vanished just minutes later, sparking a flood of reactions among fans.

The image, first revealed by journalist Javi Hoyos, showed Yamal smiling next to Nicki Nicole in what appeared to be a post-match family celebration. Although some followers managed to capture screenshots before it was deleted, the player has not provided any explanation for removing the photo.

During the match, Yamal reportedly celebrated his goal by blowing a kiss toward the stands—a gesture that, according to Hoyos, was directed at Nicki Nicole. The singer, sitting in the crowd, responded by pretending to “catch” the kiss, a sweet exchange that didn’t go unnoticed by fans both in the stadium and online.

The Most Talked-About Couple of the Year

The relationship between Lamine Yamal and Nicki Nicole became public over the summer, and since then, the couple has been spotted together at several events around Barcelona, becoming one of the most talked-about duos connecting the worlds of football and music.

However, Yamal’s decision to delete the photo left fans puzzled. Some speculate that the young player may have received guidance from the club to keep his private life off social media, while others believe it could simply be the result of a brief disagreement between the two.

At just 18 years old, Lamine Yamal faces not only the immense pressure of being one of Europe’s brightest football prospects but also the scrutiny that comes with dating a high-profile celebrity like Nicki Nicole.

For now, Barcelona supporters hope the rising star remains focused on his impressive season—where he has already contributed crucial goals and assists—while continuing to navigate the challenges of fame and public attention off the field.
