Spain draw 1.8 million to Madrid after 1-0 World Cup victory

Spain's World Cup winners returned to Madrid on Monday to a mass celebration that drew about 1.8 million people along the parade route, according to the central government's delegate in the capital. The team beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time in Sunday's final in New Jersey to secure Spain's second men's World Cup title. After landing at Barajas airport, the squad visited King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Princess Sofía at the Zarzuela palace, then met Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez at Moncloa. The open-top bus parade ended at Plaza de Cibeles, where fans gathered in 34C heat to welcome the team home.
