At almost three in the morning, the world champions arrived at Ezeiza airport, on a flight that ended up taking longer than expected with a stop in Italy halfway.
The first to go down was a Leo Messi exultant with happiness with the Cup in his hand escorted by another of the star figures, the coach of the Scaloni selection. Behind them, the rest of the team with expressions of tiredness but above all joy.
More videos fill the social networks of the Albiceleste revelry. This is how Messi celebrates right now in the convertible bus.
As expected, the highways that lead to the ‘scaloneta’ to the Obelisk are collapsed by a sea of people. The celebration of the third star will be long.
Messi’s message on Instagram:
«From Grandoli to the World Cup in Qatar, almost 30 years passed. It was close to three decades in which the ball gave me many joys and also some sadness. I always had the dream of being a World Champion and I didn’t want to stop trying, even knowing that it might never happen.
This Cup that we won is also for all those who did not achieve it in the previous World Cups that we played, like in 2014 in Brazil, where everyone deserved it because of how they fought until the very final, worked hard and wanted it as much as I did… And we deserved it Even in that damn finale.”
