Spanish soccer phenom Lamine Yamal has taken a moment from his 2026 World Cup preparations to acknowledge his girlfriend, Ines Garcia. Garcia shared a series of photos on Instagram on July 5 from Los Angeles, where she has been supporting Yamal during the tournament.
The post, captioned "LA 🇺🇸✨🤞🏾🩵🥹🎡🤎," featured Garcia in various poses, many in a denim outfit, enjoying the city's beachside atmosphere. Yamal, 18, responded to the post with the Spanish slang term "bombón," which translates to "cutie," indicating his approval of the photos.
Garcia has been a consistent presence throughout Spain's World Cup journey in the United States. Although she returned to Spain for Yamal's final group stage game, she has since rejoined him in the U.S. and is expected to attend Spain's Round of 16 match against Portugal on July 6. The game is scheduled to take place at AT&T Stadium in Texas. Garcia's presence in Los Angeles suggests she may travel to Texas to support Yamal in person for this significant matchup.
Spain's upcoming match against Portugal is considered a closely contested fixture. The outcome may hinge on the performances of both Yamal and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as the support they receive from their respective teammates. Yamal's personal support system, including Garcia, appears to be steadfast as Spain aims to advance in the World Cup tournament.
