There is a good chance that Sira Martinez (24), known in Spain as a rider but especially as the daughter of Luis Enrique, will be seen in the stands again during the European Football Championship in Germany when Spain plays. After being with Ferran Torres, striker of FC Barcelona, she is now with Robin Le Normand, a defender of Real Sociedad but also a teammate of Torres in the Spanish national team.
About a year ago, things broke out between Sira and Ferran, after Luis Enrique, as national coach of Spain, liked to joke about his daughter’s relationship with the attacker during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. “If I don’t put Ferran in the starting line-up, my daughter will cut my head off,” he laughed during a Twitch session.

And now Sira Martinez has been spotted hugging and kissing with Le Normand in San Sebastian, several Spanish media write. The TV program ‘Socialite’ also saw the young woman being dropped off at the airport by Le Normand when she flew to Paris two weeks ago for the clash between PSG and FC Barcelona.
Le Normand (27) was born in France and started his career at Brest, before being naturalized last year. He immediately won the Nations League with Spain. He has two younger (twin) brothers, of which Théo plays for the French second division club Guingamp. Sira Martinez has been riding horses since she was young and is very talented in the sport. “My father gives me the best advice,” she said about Luis Enrique. “He knows absolutely nothing about horses, but as an ex-footballer and trainer he can give me good tips on how to focus and train.”
The reason that Sira Martinez, who has 343,000 followers on Instagram, broke up with Ferran is said to be because she wanted to focus more on her career. She lived with Ferran Torres in Barcelona. She was then briefly linked to popular Spanish MotoGP rider Alex Marquez, but that relationship was never confirmed.
In 2019, a true tragedy unfolded for Luis Enrique and Sira Martinez, when they lost their daughter and sister Xana, respectively. She died at the age of nine from bone cancer. “We will miss you every day of our lives, with the hope that we will see each other in the future. You will be the star that shows our family the way,” the family wrote in a statement at the time. Enrique was then briefly replaced by Roberto Moreno as national coach, only to return in November of that year.
After Luis Enrique, Spain is now coached by Luis de la Fuente. In Germany, the Spaniards are in a tough group group with Italy, Croatia and Albania.
