The Argentines wildly celebrated the victory at the World Cup. The police had to let the madmen out!

The victory of the Argentina national team over France in the final match of the World Cup, it turns out, delighted not only the inhabitants of Buenos Aires and other Argentine cities. Albiceleste fans decided to celebrate on a grand scale in the capital of Spain. As many as eight thousand Argentine fans gathered in the center of Madrid, some of them wanted adventure.

The police had to remove the fans even from the Christmas tree …

In the footsteps of the Moroccans

After the victory of the Argentina national team at the 2022 World Cup, an unbridled celebration in Argentine cities was ensured. Millions of fans celebrated the triumph of their national team across the country, with no major unrest reported in the country. All Argentines at the time of the World Cup, and especially in the final, became one family. For many years, Argentina has been bogged down in economic instability, so the tournament in Qatar has become a real outlet for the people of this country.

However, without excesses, of course, not done. And they happened in the capital of Spain – a kindred country for the Argentines. For almost 300 years, the South American country was a colony of the Spanish state, so a huge part of the Argentines have Spanish roots – and many of the country’s inhabitants nowadays migrate to their historical homeland. Not surprisingly, about eight thousand Argentine fans gathered in the center of Madrid during the World Cup final. Moreover, the victory of their favorite team almost drove some of them crazy.

Two fans managed to climb onto a Christmas tree set up in the central Puerta del Sol. The police officers who were given the task of detaining the winged “dart frogs” even received minor injuries. What’s more, some Argentinean fans threw glass bottles and cans at law enforcement officers during the celebrations, resulting in a rise in arrests.

As a result, more than a dozen offenders were detained by the Madrid police, and administrative cases have already been opened against three hooligans. At the same time, five police officers suffered minor injuries. Of course, fans of the Argentine national team did not reach the Moroccan pogroms, but the work of law enforcement officers on December 18 clearly increased.
