Many expected. Sunday’s World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina to be the Yamine Lamal vs. Lionel Messi show.
While both international superstars had their moments, what ultimately decided the match — a 1-0 victory for Spain — was a Ferran Torres goal in extra time to clinch his country’s second World Cup title.
After the final whistle, Yamal promptly celebrated with his family and girlfriend. Yamal’s brother Keyne stole the show, sprinting across the field and jumping into his arms in celebration before posing for multiple photos with the 19-year-old soccer phenom.

While Yamal got quite a bit of publicity during Spain’s World Cup run, so too did his girlfriend Ines Garcia, a 21-year-old Spanish fashion and lifestyle influencer, who was at every game over the last month supporting him.
Garcia, who has 1.4 million Instagram followers and 1.7 million TikTok followers, has a noted fear of flying, but she faced her fears and endured the 3,400-plus mile trip to be in the U.S. to support Yamal in person during Span’s World Cup run.
After Spain’s triumph over Argentina, Garcia took to Instagram to post some photos celebrating her man’s historic accomplishment (Yamal is the youngest player ever to win the UEFA European Championship and a FIFA World Cup championship).
The World Cup win put an exclamation point on an impressive 2026 soccer season for Yamal, who played in 57 matches, scored 25 goals and 20 assists, was a three-time La Liga Player of the Month, won La Liga Player of the Season, and became the fourth-youngest player to win a World Cup championship.
