Mass celebrations were held in the capital of Argentina after the national team won the FIFA World Cup final, the Spanish-language media reported.
Tens of thousands of people dressed in blue and white with flags in their hands and on their shoulders gathered on the streets of Buenos Aires. The main gathering place was Republic Square, where one of the main landmarks, the Obelisk, is located.
Central streets were filled with fans a few minutes after the final whistle. The crowd sang, danced and chanted the name of the national team captain – Lionel Messi. In addition, the fans unfurled banners, in particular with the image of the legend of Argentine soccer Diego Maradona.
In the center of Buenos Aires motorists actively honked in support of the team, the subway in the city center was closed, and public transport stopped working, so those wishing to celebrate the victory moved around the city on foot.
Argentine fans who came to Qatar for the World Cup also celebrated loudly. After the match, the national team players rode an open-topped bus through the streets. They were accompanied by a motorcade of security personnel and mounted police. The fans cheered, applauded and applauded them.
Argentina captain Messi said after the match that he “can’t wait to be in Argentina and see all this madness.” “It wasn’t easy for us, but we made it,” he added.
