The Argentine singer Nicki Nicole found herself at the center of the football news cycle by showing up at Barcelona’s game against Como for the Joan Gamper Trophy at Estadi Johan Cruyff. She wore a Blaugrana jersey with Lamine Yamal’s name and number — the 18-year-old winger whose possible relationship with her has been actively discussed in the media and on social networks in recent weeks.
A Jersey as a Signal to the Stands
The guest arrived accompanied by three people; the entire group wore Barça gear with Yamal’s name on the back. In the context of the gossip pages, that outfit choice reads like a clear message: support for a specific player, not just the club.
From a Kiss to a Hint in the Video
The spark for the chatter was earlier reports that Yamal had been seen kissing the 24-year-old Argentine artist. When journalists asked the pair to confirm or deny the romance, Nicki Nicole fanned the flames — posting a video set to the track “The Boy Is Mine” and giving a playful wink to the camera at the end.
Friends’ Section and the Phone “Wallpaper”
Social-media users claimed the singer watched the game surrounded by Lamine’s friends. Another detail did the rounds there: eagle-eyed fans said they spotted a photo of a girl resembling Nicki Nicole on the footballer’s phone lock screen. It isn’t proof, strictly speaking, but it’s another reason for online debate.
Status of the Evening: Honorary Guests of the “Grampus”
After the match the club clarified the details: Nicki Nicole attended as an honorary guest together with Argentine producer and DJ Bizarrap. In other words, the official status of the visit was a VIP invitation to the prestigious pre-season trophy that Barça traditionally stages in August.
What’s Next
Neither Barcelona nor the protagonists themselves have confirmed the relationship. But the combination of “a Yamal jersey in the away end + social-media activity” keeps the possible-couple storyline firmly in the news cycle. On the pitch, Lamine continues to progress as a first-team winger, and off it he’s drawing star-level attention — and, it seems, is in no hurry to dispel it.
