Lamine Yamal girlfriend Inés García breaks silence World Cup controversy
Inés García defended Lamine Yamal after criticism targeting the player’s attitude towards her during the World Cup. In a lengthy message posted on X, she implicitly denies any crisis and recounts the impact of the attacks she received.
The controversy arose from images showing Lamine Yamal very close to his mother and younger brother during the final days of the competition. Some social media users felt the player had neglected his girlfriend.

"I never thought that sharing something so simple would take on such proportions," Inés García responded. She says she spent hours reading the comments: "Even though I try to appear strong, I am also a person. Behind this account, there is someone who feels, who cries and who makes mistakes."
"I’m not hurting anyone"
The young woman distinguishes respectful criticism from personal attacks. "There is a huge difference between expressing an opinion and spending time humiliating, insulting or wishing the worst on someone you don’t even know," she writes.
"I’m not hurting anyone. I haven’t taken anything from anyone. I’m simply living my life," she continues, asking social media users to remember that their messages can also reach the family and loved ones of the targeted person.
Inés García assures she is not trying to convince everyone to appreciate her. "I only ask for a little empathy, a little humanity. Nobody deserves to receive hundreds or thousands of hateful messages."
