Lamine Yamal and his girlfriend Alex Padilla’s relationship is reportedly over. This decision was made after she was seen sitting on another’s lap during a live video that went viral.
In the absence of further information, Barca fans jumped to conclusions and accused the influencer of “cheating” on their club’s teenage prodigy.
Deception in Lamine Yamal’s relationship?
Padilla was at the Euro 2024 final to party with Yamal, joining the 17-year-old on the pitch for the trophy celebration after Spain beat England. They were then spotted jetting off to Milan together after the tournament and then heading to Greece. It was there that the pair shared the same Instagram image of a luxurious floating breakfast. But in the same month that their relationship was publicly confirmed, the double unfollow already suggests trouble.
Padilla rose to fame on TikTok, amassing over 750,000 followers on the platform – doubling her following during Euro 2024 alone. She is believed to be a student in Barcelona. Just two weeks after the Euro final, Lamine Yamal is still on summer break in Barcelona and is not part of the squad Hansi Flick has taken to the United States for pre-season. The Catalans will play their final match of the tour on August 6, after which the Joan Gamper Trophy will be presented to the country on August 12. It remains to be seen whether Yamal will play a role in America, but he could be involved in the final match.
