After young Spanish superstar Lamine Yamal scored his first-ever World Cup goal, his girlfriend Ines Garcia wasted no time jumping into celebration mode. And honestly, who could blame her? The teenager keeps collecting milestones faster than most people collect parking tickets.
The goal sent fans into a frenzy. Social media exploded, commentators lost their indoor voices. Somewhere in Spain, thousands of jerseys were probably ordered within minutes.
Meanwhile, Garcia was busy letting the world know exactly how she felt.

According to her, Yamal isn’t just good, he isn’t just great, he isn’t just one of the brightest young stars in soccer: he’s the best player in the world.
Yamal has all of Spain cheering him on. But the most important fan for him is his girlfriend, Ines Garcia, who is at the World Cup to support him in person.
Garcia was quick to celebrate Yamal’s goal on Sunday, which she did through a post to her Instagram Story.
The story fan showed another fan celebrating the goal, which was captioned (in translated English from Spanish, “Ines was right… Lamine is in top form 😏”.
Garcia then added her own caption, which translated to, “The best player in the world is at 2,000,000%, and he’s also in good hands 🥰❤️”.
Yamal appears focused on keeping Spain’s World Cup dreams alive. Every match seems to bring another highlight, another viral moment, and another reason for defenders to lose sleep.
And if he keeps scoring goals like this, Garcia may soon have to upgrade her description, because “best player in the world” might not sound bold enough anymore.
At the rate Yamal is going, soccer fans may start running out of compliments before he runs out of goals.
