Argentina forced to take to helicopter after being greeted by millions in World Cup return

The Argentina squad have been greeted by more than four million jubilant fans as they celebrated their World Cup win with an open-top bus tour in Buenos Aires.

La Albiceleste defeated France on penalties to win their first World Cup since 1986, with Lionel Messi finally able to lift the famous trophy. The squad flew home to South America on Monday night, arriving early on Tuesday morning.

To continue the celebrations, they are now holding an open-top bus tour through the capital city, where millions of supporters have gathered. The party has not stopped since Gonzalo Montiel fired the winning spot-kick past Hugo Lloris on Sunday evening.
