But where did they all go?

While some holidaymakers are shunning Spain after a spike in coronavirus cases, Dele Alli, Jack Grealish, Jadon Sancho and James Maddison are lapping up the attention in Ibiza.

CRISTIANO RONALDO
The Juventus forward might still be smarting from missing out on winning the Serie A Golden Boot, but at least he’s having a lovely holiday.
Ronaldo is topping up his tan in beautiful Portofino, Italy, with his family and gorgeous missus Georgina Rodriguez.
They’ve taken their new super-yacht for a spin in the Mediterranean Sea.
And they also enjoyed a lavish dinner with friends at the expensive Langosteria Paraggi restaurant.
