Spain's national team, under the guidance of Luis de la Fuente, secured their spot in the 2026 World Cup final. With nearly five days between their semi-final clash against France and the upcoming showdown with Argentina, the players were granted some well-deserved downtime in New York, near the venue for Sunday's final.
Players utilized this break in various ways: some reconnected with friends and family, while others opted to explore New York City. Among them were Lamine Yamal and his girlfriend, Inés García.
The Barcelona player's partner shared several moments, notably a video capturing her reaction to seeing an advertisement featuring Lamine Yamal prominently displayed in Times Square. As she was filmed, likely by the footballer himself, Inés García couldn't hide her pride, smiling at the camera and exclaiming, "How beautiful!"
The couple was also spotted grabbing food from one of the area's famous food trucks.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Inés shared a "setback" that left her "bitter." "My TikTok account was blocked, and I was more than bitter. I couldn't even access my profile because they said I was... underage," she lamented. At least she'll still get to see Justin Bieber perform at the final's halftime show, as she had hoped.
