FANS were left baffled after the Champions League’s official Instagram page posted pictures of Barcelona star Lamine Yamal with his girlfriend.
The pics appeared to have been taken after Barca’s 6-1 victory over Olympiacos on Tuesday at Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium.
It showed Yamal, 18, and his singer girlfriend Nicki Nicole sitting on the bench and enjoying the win.
The snaps attracted almost 1.5million likes on Instagram, but many fans were left confused with the content.
A number of supporters correctly pointed out that it is highly irregular for the Champions League page to be sharing pictures of footballers with their significant others.
Some went even further as they wondered whether the Uefa page got hacked.

And that one added: “Game’s gone.”
Yamal and Nicole, 25, have been linked ever since early summer when she attended his 18th birthday party in July.
But they only confirmed the rumours in August, when the Barcelona star posted a picture of them for her 25th birthday.
And the rapper confirmed she is “very happy” with the Spain international.
