However, in spooky circumstances, the supporter loses his balance and tumbles off the bus and into the crowd of passengers.
A representative of the Argentina FA stated: “The celebrations came to an end when the Argentine soccer team’s players flew over the city’s assembled crowd of supporters in a helicopter.
They decided to stop moving forward by bus in the middle of the crowd after making sure they couldn’t.
Claudio Tapia, the AFA’s president, added: “We aren’t allowed to say hello to everyone who was at the Obelisk.
The same security organizations that escorted us block our progress.
According to The Sun, eight police officers were hurt in the city while 13 arrests were made.
To celebrate Argentina’s triumph over France in the penalty shootout, many Argentinians turned out.
After a tight and exciting 4-2 shootout, the players finally received the trophy after the game ended 3-3 after 120 minutes.
