FC Barcelona star Lamine Yamal seems to have found his spark again — both on and off the pitch. The 18-year-old forward has scored in three straight matches since announcing his breakup with Argentine singer Nicki Nicole last week. An X page even posted a stat titled,
“Lamine Yamal since he announced his breakup with Nicki Nicole,” highlighting his goals against Celta Vigo (4-2 win), Club Brugge (3-3 draw), and Elche (3-1 win).
Yamal’s recent form has drawn attention not just for the timing but also for the quality of his performances. His finishing, movement, and confidence have improved, with fans suggesting that the young winger looks freer and sharper in recent games.
One supporter wrote,
“Lamine Yamal no longer has a celebration, he scores, points to the badge and that’s it. Scoring does not matters to him anymore, only a win matters. He has really matured.”
So far in his LaLiga career, Yamal has recorded 18 goals and 22 assists, reaching an impressive 40 goal involvements before turning 19. That consistency has made him one of Barcelona’s most exciting young players.
Lamine Yamal’s split with Nicki Nicole and Barcelona’s climb in LaLiga
Off the field, Lamine Yamal confirmed the split through journalist Javier de Hoyos on Spanish TV, denying rumors of infidelity.
“This is an exclusive. Lamine tells me he and Nicki Nicole, who as you know was his girlfriend, are no longer together.” Javier de Hoyos said on D Corazon on La 1, via Daily Mail.
He explained that the relationship simply ended and that recent reports about him meeting an Italian influencer were unrelated.
Despite personal challenges, Yamal’s recent performances suggest a player focused on growth and maturity. With Robert Lewandowski’s return to form and Marcus Rashford providing assists, Barcelona have climbed back into second place in LaLiga.
If his current form continues, fans may look back on this moment as the start of Yamal’s next chapter — not just as Barcelona’s future, but as a rising global star in his own right.
