Even hours after winning the world title and receiving the World Cup trophy on the podium set up on the lawn of the Lusail stadium, captain Lionel Messi was still holding him in his arms when he passed through the mixed zone of the stadium, where players usually talk to the press.
Leading the line of players, all singing and still wearing their game uniform, the number 10 shirt passed without stopping in space. Many of the athletes carried bottles of sparkling wine in their hands, while singing the song “Give it, champions!”, a scene filmed by journalists from the country.
In an interview with Argentina’s TyC Sports channel, Messi said he wants to stay with the national team for a while longer and that he can’t wait to get to Buenos Aires to join the cheering crowd.
According to the newspaper Olé, the forecast is that the country’s delegation will disembark at Ezeiza airport, in the Argentine capital, at 7 pm this Monday (19).
The plane would leave Doha (QAT) at 21:00 (Brasília time) this Sunday bound for Madrid (ESP), where it would make a stopover for refueling. Still according to Olé, there is no official program for the party, but the idea is not to involve political issues, so the team should not pass by Casa Rosada.
