Millions of Argentinians cheered in jubilation as their national team paraded through the streets of Buenos Aires to celebrate their World Cup trophy win. The celebration was so enthusiastic that the bus parade had to be stopped for safety reasons when some supporters tried to climb onto the bus from above. Instead, the players were able to look over the city from helicopters. Additionally, some fans went so far as to burn a coffin containing an image of French player Kylian Mbappe.
Argentine football fans are widely acknowledged for their enthusiasm when it comes to the game, but a certain incident involving Kylian Mbappe has been deemed by some as taking it too far. A video circulated on social media showed a group of people displaying a coffin with a cross and a portrait of France’s star player.
Kylian Mbappe achieved a remarkable feat in the World Cup final, becoming the first player since Geoff Hurst in 1966 to score a hat-trick in the championship match. Unfortunately, the victory still went to Argentina, despite Mbappe’s successful penalty kick against Emiliano Martinez. The Argentinians’ win marks their first championship since 1986, with misses from Kingsley Coman and Aurelien Tchouameni helping to secure the trophy.

Argentina’s FIFA World Cup celebration parade in Buenos Aires had to be cut short due to the massive attendance
A jubilant celebration to commemorate Argentina‘s World Cup victory was disrupted Tuesday as millions of people flocked to the streets, highways, and overpasses to see the national team. The massive turnout of flag-waving fans forced the players to disembark from the bus that was taking them to Buenos Aires and board helicopters for an aerial procession organized by the government.
After soaring above the areas of Buenos Aires where admirers had congregated, the helicopters flew back to the main offices of the Argentine Football Association located outside the city. Some supporters kept on celebrating in the streets, whereas other people left the capital with a disappointed air, expressing their dissatisfaction over their lack of ability to pay tribute to the team and Lionel Messi that had brought the nation’s initial World Cup title after 1986.
The celebrations were brought to an abrupt halt shortly after two people jumped from a bridge onto the bus carrying the players. One of them made it inside the vehicle, while the other fell onto the ground. Later in the evening, as most of the supporters had already left downtown Buenos Aires, some skirmishes occurred between a few lingering fans and law enforcement, with at least eight people getting hurt.
The trouble began when firefighters had to remove several people who had forced their way inside the Obelisk, a renowned monument in Buenos Aires that is usually the starting point of these kinds of events. The bus had been driving at a slow pace for more than four hours, surrounded by large numbers of people, before the parade was stopped. Team Captain Lionel Messi and the rest of the squad still managed to wave to the crowd whilst displaying the World Cup trophy, after having won the country’s third championship title.
