Spain's national soccer team is preparing for a crucial World Cup semifinal match against France on July 14, with star winger Lamine Yamal expected to play a key role. Yamal is celebrating his 19th birthday on July 13, a milestone highlighting his rapid ascent in the sport despite his youth.
His girlfriend, Ines Garcia, shared a selfie on social media showing the couple in bed together. Yamal, who turned 19 on Monday, was shirtless in the image posted by Garcia, who is 21. The photo, shared on Garcia's Instagram story on July 11, has since gone viral on social media and drawn attention.
Garcia and Yamal made their relationship public in early 2026, and she has reportedly been present for many of Spain's World Cup games this year. Regardless of the outcome of the semifinal match or Yamal's performance, the young player is widely considered to be on a trajectory for a long and successful international career, likely including future World Cup appearances.
