Spain return to Madrid following FIFA World Cup trophy triumph
Madrid, July 20
Spain returned to Madrid after their FIFA World Cup triumph, with the Spanish Football Federation celebrating the squad's arrival and announcing that the coveted trophy had reached the capital on Monday.
The team expressed excitement about celebrating the historic victory with their fans.
"Yes, yes, yes!! THE CUP IS ALREADY HERE. The @SEFutbol squad lands in Madrid and... We can't wait to see you!" Spain team wrote in an X post.
Hours after winning the FIFA World Cup title, Spain's national team have announced a fan celebration event titled "REVERSE OF THE WORLD" for July 20 at the Cibeles Communications Palace.
The event is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM (local time) and will offer free entry to attendees until capacity is reached.
Spain edged Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the WC Final, bringing an end to Lionel Messi's title defence and completing an impressive unbeaten campaign in which La Roja conceded just one goal in eight matches.
The triumph secured Spain's second men's FIFA World Cup title and their first since lifting the trophy in 2010. For 19-year-old Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal, who was just three years old during Spain's maiden World Cup triumph, marked the biggest achievement of his young career.
In the final at New York New Jersey Stadium, Spain dominated possession and restricted Argentina to just one shot on target while registering 12 of their own.

Happy for Spain but a bit sad for Messi. Argentina barely had a shot on target, that's not the defending champions we expected. Spain dominated proper tiki-taka, back to their 2010 style. Congrats to them. 🏆
Spain's youth development is something else. Yamal was 3 when they won in 2010, now he's lifting the cup. We need similar systems in Indian football. Btw, is the Cibeles Palace open for public or just select fans? Hope they manage crowds safely.
As a neutral fan from the US, Spain deserved it. Their possession game was suffocating. 12 shots to 1 shows they were clinical when it mattered. The "Reverse of the World" event sounds epic! Wish we had that energy for our sports teams.
Congrats to Spain but honestly, the final was boring. Extra time for a 1-0? Argentina parked the bus but couldn't hold on. Good for Yamal though, kid's got a bright future. We need more football development in India to reach this level.
Incredible achievement for Spain! First team to win it since 2010 and they did it in style. Only one goal conceded in the whole tournament, that's absolute dominance. Lamine Yamal at 19 is the future of world football. Vamos! 🇪🇸✨
