Argentina, who won the World Cup for the first time in 36 years, made a golden comeback. More than 4 million people flocked to the victory parade.
Argentina lifted the World Cup trophy by winning 4-2 in a penalty kick after drawing 3-3 with France in the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup held on the 19th (Korea time).
This was the first time in 36 years since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico that they regained the world championship.
Argentina’s players, including Lionel Messi (Paris Saint-Germain), arrived in Buenos Aires, the capital, on the 21st (local time) and held a victory parade.
Crowds of people dressed in Argentinian uniforms or light blue and white clothes greeted the players enthusiastically. There were also many people waving at large paintings or pictures of Messi and the late Diego Maradona.
According to foreign media, more than 4 million people came out into the streets to welcome Messi and other players.
The team had planned to take a bus to the Obelisco in the center of the city, but the procession was stopped halfway.
This is because too many people gather and the risk of safety accidents increases.
Some rabid fans have had accidents when they jumped from a high place to jump on a bus and then fell down.
In the end, the athletes who could not continue the parade escaped by helicopter.
Claudio Tapia, head of the Argentine Football Association, said, “It became difficult for the team to greet the people sitting in the Obelisco. I apologize on your behalf.”
