MADRID – New World Cup champion Spain enjoyed a vibrant night of celebrations after an open-top bus parade through the streets of Madrid on Monday in front of a jubilant crowd of an estimated 2 million people.
The players enjoyed drinks on their procession under a blazing sun, along the main arteries in the city center where a sea of fans in red and yellow were waiting, before arriving at Cibeles square where they took to the stage and partied into the night.
The squad and coach Luis de la Fuente were introduced one by one to the fans, each with their own choice of music that they sung along to, wearing “We are champions” shirts.
