Lamine Yamal no longer wears the crown: The reason could be the end of the relationship with Nicki Nicole

The change in the celebration of the young talent

The Barça footballer scored again this weekend, reaching three goals in LaLiga and four assists, figures that place him fourth in the ranking, just behind Marcus Rashford, who has five goals. Fans celebrated a new goal from the youth player, something that hadn´t happened since October 21 in the Champions League match against Olympiacos. However, what caught the most attention was that Lamine Yamal did not repeat his already classic celebration: putting on the crown. This gesture, also popularized by figures like LeBron James in the NBA, had become a personal symbol of the young man from Rocafonda. But instead, on this occasion, he preferred to kiss and bite the Barça shield hard, an act that many interpreted as a show of commitment to the club after weeks of rumors.

Divided reactions among fans

Some supporters celebrated that the player left behind the crown gesture, considering that it could reflect a certain arrogance in a footballer of only 18 years. Others, on the other hand, defended that it was simply a form of expression in an era where social media strongly influences how athletes communicate their personality and emotions.

The revelation from ´Què t’hi jugues´

In the program of Cadena SER, they explained that the disappearance of the crown could be related to the end of his romance with Nicki Nicole, news that was revealed last week. "Why he stopped doing it, I don´t know. What I do know is that the first time he did it was when he met Nicki Nicole," said collaborator Santi Ovalle, who added: "coincidentally, he has ended the relationship and, first match and he no longer does the crown," something that, he claimed, they discovered on the program "after making some calls".

Debunking the rumors

The hosts wanted to stop the speculation that attributed the celebration to the player´s ego or excessive confidence. "That he is arrogant, a show-off, that he thinks he is the king of the world and puts on the crown because it symbolizes that he is the king... and it turns out that he did this celebration because he dedicated the goals to Nicki Nicole. Now he is no longer with her and yesterday he kissed the Barça shield and did not put on the crown," concluded Sique Rodríguez, the program´s host, highlighting how often debates arise without knowing all the details.

Will the crown return?

For now, it is unclear whether Lamine Yamal will recover his famous celebration in the future. The program also clarified that "it was not in his mind to stop doing it" consciously, as "there are marketing issues behind it, just like with the ´304´." We will have to wait to see what gesture Lamine Yamal chooses the next time he scores a goal.
