The person appearing with the 18-year-old player was Argentine singer, rapper and songwriter Nicki Nicole, real name Nicole Denise Cucco, born in 2000.
The moment Yamal posted it coincided with Nicki Nicole's 25th birthday. Previously, the couple was caught by paparazzi many times when they were walking around Monaco together and appearing at public events.
Notably, in the Joan Gamper Cup friendly match on August 11, Nicki Nicole was present at the Camp Nou stands, sitting next to the Yamal family and cheering enthusiastically. After scoring two goals, the young player turned to the stands where his girlfriend was sitting as an affirmation of his feelings.
According to the Spanish press, the two met at Yamal's 18th birthday party in Ibiza in July. Since then, they have often been spotted together in many different locations, from nightclubs to vacations.
Before Nicki Nicole, Yamal was said to have a relationship with TikToker Alex Padilla and a number of other famous figures. However, publicly announcing his relationship with the rapper 6 years older than him has created many mixed opinions, especially in the context that Yamal is entering an important stage to affirm his career at Barcelona.
Experts say that the young striker needs to maintain a balance between personal life and top-level competition, avoiding off-field noise that affects his performance.
