Add The California Post on Google The Spain men’s soccer team has a tough task ahead of them in facing France in the World Cup semifinal on July 14.
If Spain is going to secure a victory on Tuesday and advance to the World Cup final, they’re going to need star winger Lamine Yamal to show up in a big way.
Yamal is celebrating his 19th birthday on Monday, which is a reminder that he still has a lot of time to develop despite already being one of the world’s best players.
One would that imagine that Yamal is celebrating his birthday with his girlfriend, Ines Garcia, after his training with Spain ended on Monday.
These two appeared to do some celebrating over the weekend, when Garcia posted a selfie of her and Yamal lounging in a hotel bed together on July 11. Yamal also isn’t wearing a shirt in the photo.
While there was nothing edgy about the photo itself, the fact that Garcia (who is 21 years old) posted a picture of her and Yamal in bed in the first place raised some eyebrows, and the photo has gone viral on social media.
Garcia and Yamal made their relationship public in early 2026, but there’s no clear indication on how long they had been dating before that. These photos show that they’re still going strong, and she has been present for almost all of Spain’s games throughout this year’s World Cup.
Regardless of whether Spain can beat France on Tuesday or how Yamal performs in that game, he’s destined to have a long and successful international career that should include multiple more World Cup appearances.
