Ines Garcia, girlfriend of Spanish football prodigy Lamine Yamal, garnered attention on social media with a distinctive outfit choice for Spain's World Cup group stage game against Uruguay on June 26. Garcia, a model and influencer, posted a photo to her Instagram Story wearing Yamal's Spanish national team jersey but no pants.
The post, shared shortly before the match began, was accompanied by the caption, “Este partido desde casa ✨🤞🏽🤎,” which translates to “This match from home.” This indicated her intention to watch the game from her residence, explaining her unconventional attire.
Yamal, 18, and Garcia confirmed their relationship earlier this year. Garcia has attended several of Yamal's matches, including his first two World Cup games. The reason for her absence from the stadium for the match against Uruguay was not specified, though she may have had professional commitments.
Spain secured a victory in their final group-stage game, with Yamal having scored his first World Cup goal in a previous match against Saudi Arabia. The team is slated to face Uruguay next on June 26. It remains to be seen if Garcia will attend future World Cup matches as Spain progresses in the tournament.
