Instagram: Messi, Ronaldo, and the vacations of the most famous football players.

The season in Europe is just a few weeks away. In fact, some teams are already in the middle of their preseason, but other players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi took some time off after the World Cup and shared some photos on Instagram.

The majority of athletes prefer to relax near the sea and as far away as possible from cameras and the hustle and bustle of a busy city.

For example, the new signing for Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo, spent some days of his vacation in Greece. Always in the company of his family. The same happened with Lionel Messi, although the Argentine opted for the Caribbean.

Real Madrid players Sergio Ramos and Isco Alarcón were accompanied by their partners. Jordi Alba and former Barcelona player Andrés Iniesta looked more than romantic, with Iniesta taking the opportunity to visit his hometown.

They must appreciate some time away from training camps, travels, and strict diets during the season. Despite that, there have been no excesses in their vacations.
