Alexia Putellas is not only one of the best footballers in the world, but she is also a role model both on and off the field. After an intense season with FC Barcelona and a summer of personal changes, the midfielder has taken advantage of her vacation to disconnect.
After a few days of rest in Mexico, where she was accompanied by her sister Alba, the Catalan has continued her summer in Spain. Ibiza has been her refuge. There, she has been seen relaxing, playing sports, sailing between coves, and sharing moments with friends.
Alexia Putellas enjoys her vacation in Ibiza
The detail has not gone unnoticed: Alexia has been photographed on board a yacht, wearing a white bikini that showed off her toned figure and her most personal tattoos. Among them, the Latin phrase "labor omnia vincit improbus" stands out, which means "hard work conquers all."
You can also see a feather, a moon, a heart, the letter A, and the image of a man holding a girl in his arms. This is a tribute to her father, who passed away when she was 18 years old and who was key in her love for soccer.
Alexia Putellas and Olga Ríos have gone their separate ways
This summer has been different for Putellas. It is the first one she has spent single after her breakup with Olga Ríos, with whom she shared a three-year relationship. The couple went public in 2023 after the Women's Champions League, when they celebrated the title with a much-discussed kiss.
"Olga lives in Madrid, Alexia in Barcelona. She is so focused on her work that, in the end, the distance has taken its toll," journalist Javi De Hoyos explained on D Corazón. He also added: "The affection is still there," because "they love each other very much" despite the separation.
Although neither of them has made any statements, they stopped following each other on social media and have not been seen together again. Now, Alexia has already set off for Mexico again, this time with Barça.
The team is starting their preseason with two friendlies. The first will be in Monterrey, against a team from Liga MX Femenil led by Jenni Hermoso, and the second in Mexico City against Club América Femenil. It will be the last stop before the start of the season.
