Argentina’s World Cup winners have been greeted by thousands of fans in Buenos Aires – despite arriving home at 2am local time.

Lionel Scaloni’s side have flown back to the capital on a flight from Rome, with the party continuing on board. When they touched down at Ezeiza International Airport they had the nation’s media and packed crowds awaiting them ahead of a planned victory parade later in the day.
