The World Cup is now home. After fighting for it for such a long time in Qatar, the team arrived in Argentina with coach Scaloni and the World Cup on Tuesday. As soon as he got off the plane, Messi lifted the trophy and he was smiling next to his coach.
Once he lifted the trophy for the first time, the number 10 went doen the steps onto the runway. As soon as he reached the bottom. he received camera flashes which were fighting to get a picture of the big moment. At his side, his coach was grabbing him by his shoulder and arm, very happy at having helped Argentina win their third World Cup.
The rest of the Argentina players walked slowly behind him. It is still not clear what the protocol will be for the celebration, but it does not matter and Argentina know how to celebrate major victories in style. The streets will be packed with chanting fans and there will be lots of colour on display.
It will be especially interesting when Argentina's footballers get on the bus for the typical open top bus parade. In that moment, you will be able to see how Scaloni's euphoric players are. Another key moment will be when Lionel Messi takes to the microphone to speak to the country and the whole world. Every comment made will be received with excitement, affection and kindness: He got the trophy everyone was keen to get.
