00:00And from Madrid precisely, our correspondent Álvaro Fragua reports on Spain's celebrations
00:06as the national team returns to a triumphant homecoming.
00:14Good afternoon, colleagues, and a warm greeting to all the TELUSUR audience.
00:19There is tremendous excitement here in Madrid because the Spanish national team is finally home.
00:24They arrived a few hours ago at Barrages Airport from the United States, flying in from New York,
00:30with Captain Rodri proudly carrying the FIFA World Cup trophy.
00:33The team has since headed to the Zarzuuela Palace, where they are presenting the trophy to the king and the
00:39royal family.
00:40They are there at this very moment, and after that official reception,
00:44the players and coaching staff will make their next stop at Monclo Palace,
00:48where they will be welcomed by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
00:51Later, the celebrations will truly begin as the team boards an open-top double-decker bus to celebrate with the
00:58Spanish fans.
00:59Players and supporters will come together as the parade makes its way through the streets of Madrid,
01:04traveling from Moncloa to Cebeles.
01:06The festivities will conclude at Cebeles with live musical performances in front of Madrid City Hall.
01:12Not even a pin is expected to fit into the crowd,
01:15as authorities anticipate more than 60,000 people lining the route through the city center.
01:21The parade will make several brief stops, allowing the players to lift the World Cup trophy for the thousands of
01:27fans who,
01:28despite the intense heat, are expected to fill the streets to share in the joy and be part of this
01:33historic moment,
01:34as Spain celebrates its second World Cup title, 16 years after its first.
01:40Today is a day of celebration in Madrid, and we will be following every moment of these festivities very closely.
01:46For now, colleagues, we send it back to the studio.
