There is a huge celebration on the streets of Buenos Aires, where Argentina’s players were welcomed a few hours ago after winning the 22nd World Cup.
The plane with the world champions from Qatar landed early in the morning CET in the capital of Argentina and the party hasn’t stopped since then.
The local government declared today a national holiday, but Messi and four other teammates could easily turn it into a day of mourning.
Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo de Paul, Lionel Messi, Angel di Maria and Nicolas Otamendi were at the back on top of the bus that took them through the streets of Buenos Aires.
While they were singing and saying goodbye to the fans, they came across power lines… Fortunately, they ducked in time and avoided an accident.
The plane they used to travel to Argentina bore the inscription “one team, one country, one dream”, and on the back wing are pictures of captain Lionel Messi and Angel di Maria, the scorer of the second goal in the final against France.
Argentina football players won their third World Cup title on Sunday, after beating France 4:2 after penalty kicks, after the score was 3:3 after regular time and overtime.
