CRISTIANO Ronaldo can walk on water by the look of these pictures.

The Real Madrid megastar was spotted flyboardin­g off Ibiza at the weekend.

He hovered for a few seconds before he lived up to his reputation and took a dive into the sea.

The former Manchester United ace, 32, was later snapped on a luxury yacht with pregnant girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, 22.

The four-time winner of Fifa’s prestigiou­s Ballon d’Or award sunned himself on the yacht with his family before heading to nearby island Formentera.

CR7, as Ronaldo refers to himself, was not the only one relaxing before the busy pre-season.

England keeper Joe Hart, Leicester striker Jamie Vardy and exChelsea star Wayne Bridge all took the opportunit­y to escape.

They were snapped relaxing and lounging around with their wives and kids in sun-kissed Portugal.

Busy

Jamie, 30, played on an inflatable trampoline with his brood, while Joe, 30, and Wayne, 36, took a dip as they played with their children.

As some footballer­s kicked back, others were busy training.

Manchester United’s latest, Romelu Lukaku, 24, and soon-to-be teammate Paul Pogba were put through their paces in LA at the weekend.

Lukaku, who is set to join the Red Devils from Everton for £75million, travelled to the University of California for the intense session with Pogba, 24.

Despite the Red Devils agreeing a fee, Lukaku is yet to be announced by the club.

But he gave fans a hint something would be released shortly after he completed his medical, with the message: “FINITO!”

Speaking about the move, he said: “When Manchester United came calling, I didn’t have to think twice. I’m really delighted to hopefully be part of their history.”
