Lamine Yamal's girlfriend, Inés García Santos, shared a heartfelt message on social media after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, celebrating both the national team's success and the teenager's latest career milestone.

García Santos posted an emotional message on Instagram shortly after Spain's victory at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

She wrote, "Lo conseguiste. Enhorabuena mi amor, eres campeón del mundo 🤎," which translates to, "You did it. Congratulations my love, you are the champion of the world." She also shared a photograph of the couple celebrating the achievement.

Yamal responded publicly with a brief message of his own, writing, "te amo mi amor🤎," meaning, "I love you my love."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The couple reportedly met through social media and made their relationship public in 2026.

García Santos, a fashion and lifestyle influencer, has previously dismissed suggestions that their relationship began with a dramatic or unusual story, saying there was no cinematic beginning to their romance.

The Instagram post attracted thousands of reactions from supporters, with many congratulating both the couple and Spain following the historic victory. Fans described García Santos as Yamal's "good luck" charm, while others praised the pair as one of football's most popular young couples.

Spain secured their second FIFA World Cup title after Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute of extra time. 

At 19 years and six days old, Yamal added a World Cup winners' medal to the European Championship title he claimed in 2024, further strengthening his reputation as one of football's brightest young talents.
