On 19/7 at MetLife Stadium, Spain dominated Argentina, securing a 1-0 victory with a goal from Ferran Torres in the 106th minute. This win marked Yamal's second major title with Spain, following Euro 2024.

After the match, Ines went onto the field to celebrate with Yamal. The two chatted and took photos at the awards podium, where Ines held the golden trophy. She later posted photos on Instagram, writing: "You did it. Congratulations, my love. You are a world champion."

The relationship between Yamal and Ines garnered attention throughout the 2026 World Cup. Ines, born in 2005, consistently supported her boyfriend from the stands, accompanying Yamal's family at most matches. After Spain's victory over Saudi Arabia in the group stage, she shared the moment Yamal scored his first goal of the tournament, calling him "the best".

Before the final match, Ines uploaded the final installment of her "Get Ready With Me" video series, documenting her 2026 World Cup journey. She admitted to sleeping only four hours, openly expressing her excitement before kickoff.

"When I came here, I thought it would be like a trip or a vacation. But I only slept for four hours. I am very nervous. In just 15 minutes, I won't talk to anyone; I'll just watch the match with my head down and pray," she shared in a video posted on TikTok.

Ines also posted several photos on Instagram before the match. In one post, she appeared next to Yamal and wrote: "Have a great day, my love. You deserve this."

Previously, when singer Justin Bieber was announced to perform during the 2026 World Cup final halftime show, Ines humorously urged her boyfriend to ensure Spain reached the final match at all costs. "My love, do whatever it takes to get to the final. You understand? At all costs," she wrote.

Ines, born in 2005, is two years Yamal's senior. She is a social media star, boasting nearly 2 million followers on Instagram and over 1,9 million on TikTok. Ines currently lives in Seville, has a passion for fashion, and regularly shares images of her personal style, from everyday outfits to traditional flamenco attire, while also posting lifestyle content and beauty tips for her followers.

In an interview with Hola magazine earlier this month, Ines revealed for the first time that she and Yamal met through social media, refuting rumors of a chance encounter at a convenience store that had circulated. "I really want to tell a romantic story, like accidentally meeting at the airport or him helping me pick up dropped papers. But that's not it. We met through social media," she said.

The two went public with their relationship during a trip to Greece in 4/2026. However, Ines stated that their relationship began "longer than people think," as they had been together for several months before their romance became public.

Yamal's personal life has drawn interest since his rise to global stardom two years ago. The Spanish winger introduced his girlfriend, Alex Padilla, during the Euro 2024 championship celebration at Olympia Stadium. However, they quickly broke up after Padilla was seen sitting on the lap of Izan Fernandez in a live video.

Yamal was later seen with social media star Anna Gegnoso (19), vacationing with flight attendant Fati Vazquez (29), and rumored to be pursuing model Claudia Bavel, who is 12 years his senior.

The Barcelona player went public with his relationship with Nicki Nicole, an Argentinian rapper six years his senior, in 8/2025. However, the couple parted ways after only 67 days, by early November.
