Euro 2024: How Spain celebrated with trophy parade in Madrid
Following meetings with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and King Felipe VI, La Roja were driven throughout the nation’s capital in an open-air bus procession.
After Spain defeated England to win Euro 2024, thousands of people in Madrid greeted the team as they returned home on Monday.
Following meetings with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and King Felipe VI, La Roja were driven throughout the nation’s capital in an open-air bus procession.
It was adorned with the message “it’s only the beginning” and the trophy sat at the front of the bus.
“We want a lot,” Sanchez said.
“We want more,” he added.
The likes of Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Sunday’s match-winner in Berlin, Mikel Oyarzabal, wore white t-shirts with the number four on them in reference to the record number of times Spain have won the European Championship.
“For now, we’re not realising yet what we have accomplished,” Williams said.
The attacker, who scored the opening goal of the 2-1 victory, was also eager to thank Spain’s fans “for the love and warmth they brought the team”.
The team bus took them to Plaza Cibeles in central Madrid where thousands more fans waited to celebrate the success, following on from victories in 1964, 2008 and 2012.
