Tens of thousands of people crowded into the Plaza de Cibeles on Monday evening.
The national team arrived with the trophy in their hands at around 10pm. They were greeted by chants and euphoric cheers. Emotions were running high!
It was a triumphant journey that the Spanish national team set off on in a bus at around 8.15 pm. With the European Championship trophy in their hands, the newly crowned European champions drove through the streets of Madrid and were celebrated by thousands of fans. From time to time, jerseys were thrown into the crowd, which were then fiercely fought over.
Lamine Yamal and Co. were in good spirits and took numerous photos and videos of the streets lined with fans. The European champions proudly presented the European Championship trophy and saluted the cheering crowd.
Then the bus finally reached its destination in the Plaza de Cibeles in the center of the city. This is where Spain traditionally celebrates its soccer triumphs.
Music to set the mood
The square was packed and admission was free for everyone. Tens of thousands of people had been waiting here, some of them since midday, in the shade at over 30 degrees. People chanted "Campeones" (champions) and "Viva Espana" over and over again.
Visits before the celebrations
Beforehand, coach Luis de la Fuente's team paid a visit to King Felipe VI and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and his government. La Roja landed at the airport in the afternoon and were greeted by cheering fans.
At the reception in the Zarzuela Palace, the King's daughters, Crown Princess Leonor (18) and Infanta Sofia (17), wore team jerseys with Dani Olmo's number 10 on the back. Captain Alvaro Morata presented the King with a jersey bearing the inscription "Reyes de Europa 4" (Kings of Europe 4). The players wore white shirts with the same inscription to commemorate their fourth European Championship title. Felipe thanked the footballers for the joy they had brought to the country. Head of government Sanchez also received a shirt.
With the 2:1 victory against England on Sunday in Berlin's Olympic Stadium, "La Roja" secured their fourth European Championship title in total. One more than hosts Germany. The Iberians are now enthroned at the top of Europe for at least four years.
