Lamine Yamal caught distracted with girlfriend Niki Nicole during Barcelona match

Lamine Yamal made headlines again, but this time, not for what he did on the pitch. During FC Barcelona's latest match, cameras captured the 17-year-old forward on the bench talking and smiling with his girlfriend, singer Niki Nicole, in a moment that quickly went viral on social media.

Yamal, who was not part of the starting lineup, appeared relaxed and fully engaged in conversation while his teammates continued the match. The clip sparked mixed reactions online: some fans called it a sweet, normal moment, while others joked that the young star looked "too distracted" for a game night.

The short video, filmed near the Barcelona bench, shows Yamal laughing and gesturing toward Niki Nicole as they share a light exchange. On social platforms, fans were quick to label it "the most watched chat of the match."

At only 17, Lamine Yamal has become one of Europe's most promising players - and off the field, one of its most followed personalities. His relationship with Niki Nicole, confirmed only a few months ago, continues to draw as much attention as his football.

For now, Yamal remains firmly in the spotlight, on the field for his talent, and off it for the glimpse of a young star simply living his age.
