LAMINE YAMAL looked loved up as he shared a kiss with his girlfriend, Nicki Nicole, while on holiday.
The Barcelona and Spain star has been sidelined by a groin injury but has taken that chance to spend some quality time with his significant other.
Taking to social media, Yamal shared some snaps of a holiday the pair enjoyed, including some kisses, cuddles and even a helicopter ride.
Despite coming second in the Ballon d’Or to Ousmane Dembele, Yamal was seen taking his mind off the disappointment with the help of rapper Nicole.
The pair first met around the time of Yamal’s 18th birthday party as several special guests attended the celebrations.
And with Yamal sidelined, he had found more time to spend with the 25-year-old.
Over the international break, that included a helicopter trip over the Croatian coast.
Nicole shared a picture of them in the back of a helicopter which Yamal reshared with dizzy and crying emojis suggesting he may have not enjoyed it as much as he initially let on.
Yamal shared a video of the pair kissing while on a boat with a beautiful sunlit backdrop before she released some heart-shaped balloons.
A later picture in the collection showed Yamal planting a kiss on the forehead of Nicole as they sat on a sofa together.

Another picture in the post showed Yamal with his arms around Nicole as he kissed her while they had their legs hanging off the side of a wall.
Barcelona are said to be willing to play the waiting game over Yamal’s fitness.
But Hansi Flick provided an update on his condition with El Clasico fast approaching on October 26.
He said of his condition: “It’s better but it’s not good. This is the situation with Lamine.
“With this injury, it’s not so easy to know [when he will return].
“It’s not easy to say, ‘OK he can play in two, three or four weeks…’ or if he’s able to play the Clásico.
“This is not possible. We have to wait. We must manage his load.
“He trains with the recovery team and [will spend] the next weeks with them.
“We go step by step. We have to see how the evolution is.”
Barcelona’s next game comes against Girona on October 18.
On her relationship with Yamal, Nicole said last month: “I am very in love, very happy and very happy.
“I am very happy, very happy in Barcelona, with a lot of affection from the people and I want to thank everyone.”
