The Argentina football team received a hero’s welcome back home on Tuesday following their recent World Cup triumph in Qatar as hundreds of thousands of supporters cram into the main square of Buenos Aires to celebrate the team’s success during their procession.

  There was hardly space to turn for the jubilant Argentinians as crowds inundated the nation’s capital with most businesses closed as Tuesday was been declared a bank holiday to allow every national the opportunity to revel in the team’s return.

Led by the great Lionel Messi, the squad and team management arrived at a massive flock of ecstatic fans in the early hours at the airport as the excited fans gathered for a chance to glance at their heroes.

The throng of Argentine nationals were vociferous in their roar of approval during their first glance at the world as Messi hosted the trophy of football supremacy on his exit from the plane.

It was more of the same during their drive through the city as the team bus was flanked by a sea of blue and white jerseys and paraphrenia blanketed the surrounding areas of their journey.

Screams of jubilance marked an infectious atmosphere of pride as the nation It seems stands still to partake in a National Day of Honor and savor a moment that has escaped them for 36 years.

A moment that they now have the chance to relish for at least another four years.
