To the sound of the anthem “Muchachos”, Messi appeared lifting the cup, together with coach Lionel Scaloni and the other players, shortly after the plane landed at Ezeiza International Airport
With Lionel Messi holding the cup in hand, the selection of Argentina arrived at Buenos Aires in the early hours of this Tuesday 20, two days after winning the final against France in Qatar World Cup🇧🇷 Decorated with the slogan “One team, one country, one dream”, the plane of the world champions landed at 02:40 in the Ezeiza International Airport🇧🇷 In the Argentine capital, thousands of fans await the start of the celebrations for the third star of the Albiceleste.
To the sound of the popular ‘muchachos‘, Argentina’s anthem at this World Cup, Messi stepped off the plane lifting the FIFA World Cup Trophy Fifanext to the technician Lionel Scaloni🇧🇷 The players were greeted with a red carpet on the track and boarded a double-decker convertible bus, which they took to the training camp of the Argentine Football Federation (AFA)a few kilometers from the airport.
Players must spend the rest of the night in this place and then, starting at noon, go by caravan to the Obelisk, a historic monument located on the Republic square from Buenos Aires. On Tuesday, the Argentine government declared a national holiday so that the population could “express the deepest satisfaction” for the victory. The new world title comes 36 years after the one won in 1986, which was added to that of 1978, and after losing two finals (1990 and 2014).
Despite the hour, thousands of people were on their way this morning to receive the samples. The most anxious fans began arriving nearly 12 hours before the plane’s scheduled landing time. They populated the 10 kilometers that separate the airport from the AFA structures with the colors blue and white. Among drums, Argentine flags and T-shirts with Messi’s ’10’ stamp, entire families spent the night trying to find a place to watch, even briefly, the passage of their idols.
For another day of festivities, it is expected that the Obelisk of Buenos Aires will once again be the epicenter of the festivities and the place where players will arrive with a special bus that will travel along the central artery. In the 30 kilometers that separate the international airport from the center of the capital, a security operation was implemented with traffic diversions and police stations to avoid excesses.
Since the cup final that crowned Argentina champions, the celebrations in the Argentine capital have not stopped. According to local police calculations, more than a million people passed through the center of Buenos Aires to celebrate his third world title. On Sunday, a huge blue and white procession invaded the city. The mobilization was the anticipation of the party scheduled for this Tuesday with the parade of champions.
The forecast of the organizers is that the car with the players and the technical staff will return to the sports center after having crossed the city centre, on a route which is still without details. The ability for players to visit the Pink houseGovernment Palace of Argentina, and greet fans from the balcony overlooking the historic May squareseems out of the question, according to an announcement from the AFA.
“The team of the world champions will come out at the obelisk on Tuesday at noon to celebrate the world title with the crowd. Yes, we are WORLD CHAMPIONS!” said the AFA on Twitter. Both on the occasion of the 1978 and 1986 victories, the champions greeted the people from the balcony of the Casa Rosada. “President Alberto Fernández offered the Casa Rosada jury to do the same as in 1986?, explained the Minister of Security, Hannibal Fernandezwhich left the decision up to the players and the Argentine Football Federation.
Amidst the controversy over whether or not the players would meet the president of Argentina, the only representative of the Peronist executive at the foot of the plane with the champions was the interior minister, Edward of Pedrowho accompanied the head of Aerolíneas Argentinas, Peter Ceriani🇧🇷 However, there was no formal greeting between the authorities and the players. /With information from EFE and AFP
