Two weeks ago Lucy Bronze and Ona Batlle were flying into each other with tackles as the Lionesses beat Spain in the Euros.
Now they’re still close marking – but having a splashing time together on holiday in Formentera, the smallest Balearic isle.
Wearing matching string brown bikinis, Chelsea right-back Lucy, 33, and Barcelona defender Ona, 26, tanned on a motorboat.
Then they hopped on a paddleboard before going snorkelling, finally hosing each other down in the 31C Mediterranean heat.
The pair, who played together for Barcelona in the 2023-24 season, are thought to have been enjoying the isle for several days.
Last week Lucy shared images on Instagram of two iced coffees in a restaurant, tagging Ona, plus idyllic beaches and moped rides.
She captioned the pictures ‘And breathe’.
Lucy, called ‘the world’s best player’ by ex-England defender Phil Neville, consoled Ona on the pitch in Basel as teammates celebrated their penalty shoot-out win.

It was a reversal of fortunes from 2023, when Spain beat England in the World Cup Final and Ona comforted tearful Lucy.
Lucy, who grew up in Northumberland, has a Portuguese father and speaks Spanish, French and Portuguese.
Her close friendship with Ona continued when she moved to Chelsea from Barcelona last summer.
They posted photos from Disneyland Paris at Christmas and holidayed again in June before the Euros. Ona shared shots of them on a lilo and dressing for dinner.
