Despite falling short in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final against Spain, Argentina's national team received an emotional welcome from thousands of supporters upon returning home. Fans gathered outside Buenos Aires' Ezeiza Airport despite cold weather and persistent rain, waving flags, singing and lighting fireworks to thank the squad for another memorable campaign. Lionel Messi was absent from the returning delegation after the Argentine Football Association confirmed that several players would travel separately. Head coach Lionel Scaloni and the rest of the squad were greeted with a ceremonial reception featuring a military band before boarding an open-top bus, where they acknowledged the cheering crowds lining the route. Although the trophy stayed in Spain, Argentina's passionate supporters made it clear their appreciation for the team's efforts remained unwavering.
Spain’s World Cup winning soccer team returned home on Monday, where the 26-man squad is due to meet with Spain’s royals and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez before boarding an open-top bus for a raucous parade through central Madrid. Thousands of fans will greet them as they travel down Madrid’s historic avenues from near Moncloa Palace, the prime minister’s official residence, to Cibeles Square. A ceremony with the players will then be held at the square, where previous Spanish national teams and their supporters have traditionally gathered to celebrate. Spain walked off with the trophy at Sunday’s final after defeating now-dethroned champion Argentina 1-0 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Kimi Antonelli always believed he had the momentum in the Formula 1 title race even when results didn’t go his way. He made it count with a dominant win Sunday as his teammate and title rival George Russell failed to finish. Antonelli saw off a challenge from Charles Leclerc to get back to winning ways at the Belgian Grand Prix after reliability issues had allowed Russell to whittle down his lead in recent weeks. Russell was left fuming in a gravel trap at his Mercedes car’s shortcomings. Antonelli started on pole but lost the lead to Leclerc when a virtual safety car slowdown allowed the Ferrari driver to save time during his pit stop. Antonelli sped back past Leclerc with 10 laps remaining and cruised from there to his sixth win of the season — and his F1 career — and first since last month’s Monaco Grand Prix. It gives him a 45-point overall lead after recent reliability problems and keeps the 19-year-old firmly on target to become F1’s youngest-ever champion.
