After finishing as runners-up in the United States, the Argentina National Team has already returned to the country and landed this Monday at around 6:30 p.m. at Ezeiza International Airport. The delegation was welcomed on the runway by the Regiment of Mounted Grenadiers before boarding the bus that took them to the AFA training center.

Of the 26 players called up, only 16 traveled to Buenos Aires. Among them were Emiliano Martínez, Nicolás Otamendi, Leandro Paredes, and Alexis Mac Allister. The other ten, including Lionel Messi, De Paul, Lautaro Martínez, Enzo Fernández, and Julián Álvarez, stayed in the United States or traveled directly to Europe to begin their vacations or rejoin their clubs.

The AFA released a statement thanking the fans for their support throughout the tournament and highlighted the squad’s work in this new world final.
