At 2:30 a.m. local time (06:30 CET), the plane carrying the Argentine world champions touched down in Buenos Aires.
Team captain Lionel Messi and national coach Lionel Scaloni were the first to leave the plane — with the World Cup trophy in Messi’s hand.
The team walked down a red carpet to an open, white double-decker bus with the inscription “Campeones Del Mundo” (World Champions) and three stars for the three World Cup titles in 1978, 1986 and 2022.
Despite the late hour, thousands of fans had come to welcome their World Cup heroes.
Over a distance of five kilometers, the destination was the grounds of the Argentine Football Association.
It will be a long holiday. The highlight later in the day is likely to be the reception by the fans around the obelisk, the capital’s 68-meter-high landmark.
