Lioness Alessia Russo enjoys break on Italian beach just days after England's Euro 2022 victory
Lioness Alessia Russo has been snapped enjoying a well-earned break following England's Euro 2022 final win.
The 23-year-old forward, who plays for Manchester United in the Women's Super League and the England national team has been spotted on holiday with her family and a female friend.
Wearing an orange bikini and fashion-forward shades, the top athlete took a refreshing dip in the sea at the cheap and cheerful Beach Lido in Nettuno, near Rome.
The modest beach is a far cry from the extravagant holidays enjoyed by the footballer's male counterparts: renting an umbrella and two sun lounges for two months costs just €360.

Unlike her male counterparts, who take expensive holidays in luxury locations, Alessia was snapped at an affordable beach in Italy - however, she seemed to be enjoying her break

The highly-praised goal was England's third in the match, scored after Russo threaded her backheeled shot through the legs of two Sweden players and into the net.
But Russo claimed afterwards she was 'fortunate' to score and was frustrated she didn't convert the much simpler opportunity that fell her way seconds earlier.
'I could have made it a lot easier for myself if I'd scored the first one,' said Russo.

'But yeah, it fell nicely, but I don't remember too much about it. I just thought it was the quickest route to get it in the back of the net without having to turn.
'I was fortunate it went in. I didn't really see it go in, so I don't know how it went in but I just celebrated and I enjoyed the moment.'
The forward scored four goals throughout the tournament, making her the third top scorer after teammate Beth Mead and Germany's Alexandra Popp, who both ended with six.
