Lioness Lucy and her defeated Euros opponent have a ball... in matching her-and-hers bikinis
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. Now they're still close marking – but having a splashing time together on holiday (pictured) in Formentera, the smallest Balearic isle 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.

Lucy Bronze holidays with Spain rival and 'close friend' Ona Batlle after Euros triumph - with Lionesses star overcoming broken leg to help side secure historic victory
England 's Euro 2025 winning defender Lucy Bronze has been holidaying with friend and final opponent Ona Batlle in the wake of the tournament. Bronze was part of Sarina Wiegman 's best side throughout the tournament and played the final with a broken leg, and was an crucial part of the side the retained the trophy they won in 2021. After the match, she was seen consoling close friend Batlle on the field, as both sat to reflect and Batlle mourned her side's loss in the final. Jubilant celebrations saw Chloe Kelly and Co flood onto the pitch to begin the party, but Bronze took a moment to escape the hubbub and made a beeline for Batlle. Inseparable on and off the pitch, the two friends high-fived before sitting down on the pitch, seemingly discussing the pulsating showdown that had played out in Basel. Now, the duo appear to be enjoying each other's company during their breaks before the start of the new women's season, with Bronze sharing a snap to her Instagram story of drinks that the two had been drinking. Bronze, 33, shared a photo of what appeared to be two iced coffees, places on a wooden table with napkins and a jar of an unknown substance also visible. Once the madness of last month's final had died down, Bronze, kitted out with her gold winner's medal around her neck, took a stroll with Batlle, who had changed into her tracksuit. The roles were reversed back in 2023 after Spain got the better of England in the World Cup final, when Batlle consoled a tearful Bronze after full-time. The duo were all-conquering team-mates in the 2023-24 season when they were at Barcelona, and they struck up a blossoming friendship, too. They also won the Champions League, Liga F, the Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup together. Bronze then completed a move back to England with Chelsea last summer. Bronze, 33, and Batlle, 26, enjoyed a holiday together ahead of Euro 2025 in Spain, sharing photos of the trip across their social media profiles from France - and it wasn't the first time they had been away together either. It appeared the duo were celebrating Batlle's birthday, with the Spaniard's caption on Instagram reading: 'Bday week.' One photo shared online showed them enjoying an ice cream in the sun, while another saw them relaxing on a lilo together in the sea. Bronze and Batlle also took a boat trip on their holiday and spent time together in a private pool. The duo enjoyed a summer holiday together just weeks before the tournament in Switzerland They were forced to set their friendship aside for the nerve-shredding final, but have been relaxing together again Last Christmas, meanwhile, Batlle posted snaps of the two at Disneyland Paris, with the caption: 'What a magical place'.

Emotional moment Lucy Bronze consoles close friend and Spain star Ona Batlle following Euros final - after inseparable pair holidayed together before tournament
This is the emotional moment Lucy Bronze consoled her close friend Ona Batlle after England came from behind to beat Spain and retain their Women's Euros crown. Bronze started every game of the tournament but was forced off in extra-time before the Lionesses went on to win 3-1 in a nerve-shredding penalty shootout. At 33 years, eight months and 30 days, Bronze was her side's oldest player at the tournament and she was again front and centre of a record-setting triumph. Chloe Kelly proved herself the hero for her country again by slotting home the winning spot-kick after Mariona Caldentey and Aitana Bonmati saw their efforts saved by goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, while Salma Paralluelo skewed off target. Jubilant celebrations saw Kelly's team-mates flood onto the pitch to begin the party, but Bronze took a moment to escape the hubbub and made a beeline for Batlle. Inseparable on and off the pitch, the two friends high-fived before sitting down on the pitch, seemingly discussing the pulsating showdown that had played out in Basel.

One photo shared online showed them enjoying an ice cream in the sun, while another saw them relaxing on a lilo together in the sea. Bronze and Batlle also took a boat trip on their vacation and spent time together in a private pool. Their holiday this summer was by no means their first. Last Christmas, Batlle posted snaps of the two at Disneyland Paris, with the caption: 'What a magical place'. Bronze tends to keep her personal life very private. Hailing from Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland, she was brought up bilingual thanks to her Portuguese father and was exposed to football from a very early age by her older brother, Jorge. Incredibly, she revealed she had played all of Euro 2025 with a fractured tibia. 'I've actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia but no one knew,' she said after the game. 'Then I've just hurt my knee today on the other leg. 'I think that's why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the Sweden game because I've been in a lot of pain, but that's what it takes to play for England. 'That's what I'll do. They know that, I think we inspire each other by playing through things like that, and they got us to the end of them in the end. It was very painful but I'm gonna party and gonna enjoy it, that's it.' Head coach Sarina Wiegman paid tribute to Bronze, saying: 'Her mentality, the whole team has an incredible mentality, but she has a crazy mentality, it's unbelievable.'
