Madrid experienced a national holiday on Monday, painted in red and yellow: hundreds of thousands of supporters took place along the avenues of the capital to cheer the Spanish selection, returning to the country after its coronation in the World Cup. Luis de la Fuente's team arrived early in the afternoon and was first received at the Zarzuela Palace, where Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as well as Queen Letizia and King Felipe VI congratulated the new world champions.

After this ceremonial reception, the players boarded a double-decker bus to tour the capital and reach the Plaza de Cibeles, the traditional focal point of football celebrations in Spain. Many supporters, according to the images and testimonies relayed, settled on the course from the early hours of the morning, the final having been played in the evening in East Rutherford, in New Jersey: the final whistle thus came just before midnight, Spanish time.

La Roja had clinched the title in the United States by beating Argentina 1-0, with Ferran Torres securing the victory in extra time. On the victory bus, Marc Cucurella, who played every minute at left-back during the tournament, was seen holding up the trophy and sharing the jubilation with the crowd. The full-back even put on the microphone and sang a viral song around his name which had already turned into 2024.

The parade also highlighted the new Spanish generation. Lamine Yamal, 19, central figure of this collective, was at the heart of the celebrations; the contrast is striking with Spain's last world victory: "the last time Spain was world champion, Lamine Yamal was barely old enough to walk", notes the account of the festivities. The young striker had many viral moments, notably when he spotted a poster of his brother Keyne in the crowd: the sign was passed to him and Yamal held it up from the bus, providing one of the popular highlights.

He was also spotted singing along to Bad Bunny tunes during the ride. Upon arrival at the Plaza de Cibeles, the players were introduced one by one: captain Rodri, elected Golden Ball of the tournament, received a particularly sustained ovation. His personal resurrection — after a serious knee injury in 2024 — culminates with the trophy and individual distinction, symbols of a successful transition to a team dominated by young talent, a solid midfield and a defense which conceded only one goal during the tournament.

Madrid's day sealed the end of a 16-year wait for Spain and marked the affirmation of a new generation at the top of international football, in a festive atmosphere that lasted well into the night.

The rest

After this triumphant celebration, the Spanish team will focus on the next steps in their preparation for the 2026 World Cup. The players will need to maintain their form and continue working under the leadership of Luis de la Fuente to ensure a good season and a successful qualification. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how this victory will influence the performance of Spanish clubs in domestic and international competitions.
