Yamal had just played a key role in Barcelona’s thrilling comeback victory over Levante on Saturday evening, but it was his social media post that stole headlines shortly after.
Yamal celebrates Nicole on her birthday
Hours after his on-pitch heroics, the Spanish winger posted a cozy photograph with Nicki Nicole in front of her 25th birthday cake.
The intimate picture, captioned with just a cake and heart emoji, instantly went viral, sparking huge reactions from fans across Spain and Latin America.
Reports of their budding relationship had already circulated after Nicole was seen at Yamal’s controversial 18th birthday celebrations last month.
Yamal fueled fresh romance speculation after being spotted with singer Nicole at a nightclub earlier this month, as well as strolling together through the streets of Monaco.
The Barcelona star’s personal life has drawn attention in recent months, with earlier rumours linking him to Claudia Bavel and Fati Vazquez.
That fling appeared to fade, but his connection with Nicole looks more promising.
The singer was even present at Barcelona’s 5-0 pre-season victory over Como in the Joan Gamper Trophy, where Yamal netted a brace.
Nicole was previously in a high-profile relationship with Latin music star Peso Pluma.
Her past romance with Pluma ended last year after a highly publicised split, fuelled by allegations that he was seen with another woman during a trip to Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, Yamal’s blossoming relationship with Nicki Nicole comes just weeks after he was linked to 29-year-old Colombian adult star Fati Vazquez.
Spanish outlet Lecturas published photos of the pair on what was described as a “romantic getaway” earlier this summer. See photos below:
Vazquez later addressed the images on Spanish TV program Y ahora Sonsoles, insisting she had no financial motive behind the story.
“I want to make it clear that I do not have and have never had a financial interest in this,” she said.
She also revealed her surprise at learning that another girl was allegedly involved with Yamal before she arrived.

Notwitstanding the growing speculation surrounding his love life, Yamal’s attention will shift back to the pitch as Barcelona prepare for their next La Liga clash against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday night.
The Blaugrana have made a perfect start to the season, winning both of their opening games to sit second in the Spanish top flight.
So far, Yamal has played 2 matches, scored 1 goal, and provided 2 assists in La Liga.
