Spanish influencer Ines Garcia, a friend of Barcelona star Lamine Yamal, sparked a state of anxiety among the Catalan club’s fans after announcing that she was infected with the “herpes simplex” virus, coinciding with the recent decline in the young player’s technical level.
Garcia posted a picture of herself on her official account on the Instagram platform, in which she revealed that she was suffering from herpes attacks, in addition to suffering from a sore throat and the appearance of a skin rash as a result of an allergic reaction to the medications she took.
Garcia’s post quickly turned into a topic of widespread interaction on social media platforms, as fans linked her health condition to the decline in Lamin Yamal’s performance in recent matches, especially his absence from influence in the matches between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, which the team lost last month.
On the other hand, reactions were divided across the “X” platform, as one user wrote criticizing her behavior: “This girl wakes up every day with the aim of embarrassing Lamine Yamal,” while another user went so far as to question it, saying: “I think someone paid her money to distort the player’s image, otherwise why would she publish something like this?”
