Spain celebrates World Cup glory with festive Madrid parade

Spain's World Cup-winning squad returned to Madrid for an open-top bus parade after defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final. Supporters lined the streets to welcome the team home, with Lamine Yamal taking the microphone to sing Bad Bunny songs during the festivities.

The Barcelona youngster was frequently spotted celebrating alongside Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, as the pair danced throughout the event. Players embraced the atmosphere, with many draping themselves in Spanish flags as the team traveled through the capital.

Match-winner Ferran Torres provided a notable fashion moment, wearing a red cap featuring the slogan "Make Spain Great Again," an ironic nod to the US President who had presented the squad with their medals only a day earlier.

We’ve won the World Cup. And how many do we have? Two. These guys here are amazing, and I don’t know what else to say. I would like to remember a very important person to me, a player who has been unfairly criticized and who today is part of Spanish football history: Ferran. Rodri

Head coach Luis de la Fuente addressed the crowd at Cibeles Square, thanking the fans for their support. He praised his 26-man squad, describing them as the best in the world and an honor to manage.

Following these celebrations, Spain's focus will shift to upcoming international fixtures. With one of the youngest squads in the tournament, the team is expected to build on this success using their talented core of Yamal, Williams, and Torres.
