Thousands of Spanish fans congregated in Madrid to celebrate their women's soccer team's victory in the World Cup, Euronews has reported.
Despite the late hour and the exhausting flight from Australia, the triumphant players shared their joy with an exultant crowd almost immediately upon landing.
The athletes toured the Spanish capital in an open-top bus, with streets filled with supporters donning red jerseys, waving flags, and holding signs congratulating the women's "red fury."

Spain's victory in the final against the English team was secured by a single goal, scored by defender Olga Carmona in the 29th minute of the match.
Right after the game, Carmona learned about her father's death. Her family had kept this news from her until then. Later, Carmona said, "It was the best and worst day of my life."
The players arrived at the celebration location around midnight. While awaiting the footballers at Madrid Río Park, a DJ and local musicians entertained the fans.
The celebration culminated in the late hours of the night, as confetti rained down on the stage and players, staff, and fans joined in singing the immortal Queen anthem, "We Are the Champions."

Earlier, Daryo reported that Spain clinched their maiden Women's World Cup championship, leaving England to face disappointment in the final match held in Sydney. Despite England's aspiration to replicate their 1966 men's team success, they were overshadowed by a vibrant and innovative Spanish side.
