Last Sunday, August 20, the Spanish women’s soccer team made history after beating England in the World Cup final held in Australia. Olga Carmona’s goal made them take the lead on the scoreboard and it was enough for them to be proclaimed world champions.
Despite the low visibility of women’s sport in our country and the few means that the athletes had, they demonstrated to have a great quality of play and to be true warriors.
After the victory of the Spanish in Sydney, the entire country has turned to the team. Last Monday night, the players arrived in the Spanish capital and went on the official bus of the National Team to Madrid Río, an area where thousands of fans were waiting for them to celebrate that they are the current world champions to the rhythm of the song Nocturnal, by the artist Vicco.
This morning, a series of photos have come to light in which you can see Jennifer Hermoso, Misa Rodríguez, Alexia Putellas, Catalina Thomas Coll, etc. enjoying a well-deserved vacation on the Balearic island of Eivissa. These images have greatly surprised their fans, since the athletes have changed their location very quickly.
In the snapshots, the winners can be seen relaxing on a boat with a positive and happy attitude, as well as enjoying the waves of the Mediterranean under a scorching sun. While some of them bathe and others sunbathe, Hermoso and other companions try to do a little surfing.
The players, who will hold the title of the best on the planet for the next four years, are very happy to have won gold in the competition, but they have acknowledged in more than one interview that they have endured a lot of pressure and have trained very hard to achieve this good result.
Between laughter, complicity and a desire to rest, some of the best athletes in our country have agreed to spend the holidays together and support each other in this sweet moment they are experiencing.
Although the soccer players are already on the Mediterranean island enjoying the white sand beaches and crystal clear water, before traveling they had time to meet with the current Prime Minister. Pedro Sánchez received the World Cup winners from Australia and New Zealand at Moncloa with great pleasure, as reflected in the images of the moment.
No one can question that the players of the Spanish women’s soccer team have made history by winning the 2023 World Cup. However, the attitude of the president of the Royal Spanish Soccer Federation, Luis Rubiales (who kissed Jenni Hermoso without her consent after win the game), and the support of an endless number of journalists and members of the Federation’s management and sports team, have tarnished the victory and have made the headlines focus on other types of issues.
To forget both the good and the bad and rest their minds from so much pressure and media exposure, some of the girls have decided to disconnect on the Balearic island, since they have worked very hard and deserve to have a good time without thinking about anything else.
