Winning the World Cup is meant to be the easy part. For Lamine Yamal, the real test came seconds after the final whistle, in front of a phone camera he never saw.
A brief clip of the 19-year-old with his girlfriend, Inés García Santos, has racked up 17.4 million views on X and turned a moment of celebration into a source of controversy. García, who enjoyed the tournament alongside her friend and Yamal's family, was confident Spain would take home the championship because of her beau. 'We're going to win the World Cup, he's the best,' she said.
