Yamal causes controversy while traveling with girlfriend

Lamine Yamal and famous Argentine singer Nicki Nicole continued to attract attention when they took a short trip to Monaco together over the weekend.

Nicki Nicole is an Argentine singer with over 21 million followers on Instagram.

According to El Confidencial , Yamal took advantage of Barcelona's rare day off following their 3-0 win over Mallorca in La Liga last weekend to fly to Monaco with Nicki Nicole. The trip came shortly after the Catalans were given a break by coach Hansi Flick following their fitness session on August 17.

Yamal's actions were considered unprofessional, as the entire Barcelona team only had one day off before returning to training on August 19. At the same time, Barcelona will take the field against Levante in the early morning of August 24, in round 2 of La Liga.

A video posted by Nicki Nicole on her personal page shows the couple strolling through the luxurious streets of Monaco, while another photo captures the moment they stayed at a high-end hotel.

Although the two have not officially confirmed their relationship, Yamal's public holiday with Nicole in Monaco has sparked controversy among fans. Sport is concerned that his affair with Nicole could distract Yamal. Travelling with his girlfriend right after the opening match of La Liga is also not a good move.

The relationship between Yamal and Nicki Nicole first came to light at Yamal's 18th birthday party in mid-July 2025, where she appeared with artists such as Quevedo and Bad Gyal, as well as his teammate Gavi. Nicki Nicole then appeared at the Johan Cruyff Stadium for the Joan Gamper Trophy against Como 1907, wearing a Yamal jersey, and was seen sitting with his family and friends.
