Barcelona's star winger Lamine Yamal seems to have put an end to rumors of his alleged breakup with Nicki Nicole. This comes after he gave two assists as Spain defeated Turkey 6-0 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Sunday, September 7.
Yamal's teammate and best friend, Nico Williams, recently posted a video on Instagram where the right-winger was smiling in the dressing room after the win against Turkey. Yamal also revealed his phone's wallpaper, which was a picture of himself and Nicole.
He went on to blow a kiss at the camera, which seems to have dismissed the alleged breakup rumors with Nicole that have been making the headlines. Williams added the caption:
"My boy is in love."
As per GOAL, Nicole was present and she was pictured wearing a Lamine Yamal jersey during Barcelona's 5-0 win over Como during the Joan Gamper Trophy. Meanwhile, Yamal is also expected to return to the Camp Nou in preparation for Barcelona's game against Valencia this weekend on September 14.
The winger has scored two goals and created three assists in three LaLiga games this season. Thus, his presence in the attack will be crucial for Hansi Flick's team, who will be aiming to secure all three points against Valencia.
Arda Guler appreciates Lamine Yamal
Real Madrid's young midfielder has praised Lamine Yamal as a highly talented player. However, he added that his playing style is different from that of the Barcelona winger.
In a press conference before Turkey suffered a 6-0 defeat against Spain in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Guler said:
"Lamine Yamal is a very talented player. We don’t play in the same position and our styles are different, but he plays for Barcelona and I play for Real Madrid, so I understand the comparison. I wish him the best.”
The duo also had a heated exchange during the match.
Guler has registered two goal contributions in three LaLiga games for Real Madrid this season. On the other hand, Lamine Yamal has amassed five goal contributions for Barca this season.
