Add The California Post on Google Spanish phenom Lamine Yamal is breaking through on the world’s biggest stage. He scored his first World Cup goal during Spain’s last group-stage game against Saudi Arabia and will look to add to that goal tally when his squad faces Uruguay on June 26.
However, it’s Yamal’s girlfriend, model and influencer Ines Garcia, who is drawing the most attention before Spain’s game kicks off.
This is because of a post she made to her Instagram Story on Friday, a short time before the Uruguay vs. Spain match started. The photo was of her wearing her boyfriend’s Spain jersey — but with no pants on beneath it.
The photo was captioned, “Este partido desde casa ✨🤞🏽🤎,” which was Garcia’s way of saying that she’ll watch the game from the comfort of her home. And this is the only reason she’d be able to get away without wearing any pants during one of Spain’s games.
Yamal, 18, and Garcia made their relationship official earlier this year. Since then, Garcia has been seen at several of his matches, including his first two World Cup contests.
She didn’t indicate why she had to return home (which is presumably Spain) before Yamal’s final group- stage game, but perhaps she has modeling engagements or some other aspects of her career to attend to.
It will be interesting to see whether Garcia returns to Yamal’s World Cup games as the tournament progresses; especially if Spain makes a deep run, which it is expected to do.
