Massive Argentina World Cup Parade Cut Short by Overzealous Fans

If you thought the celebration for Lionel Messi and Argentina was done Sunday when the team defeated France in a back-and-forth World Cup Final that culminated in a penalty-kick shootout, the celebratory parade was on an entirely different level.

Argentina claimed its third World Cup title and first since 1986 in a penalty-kick shootout while Messi won his first World Cup. With tons of excitement, the club returned to Buenos Aires in a celebration that was cut short due to millions of fans storming the streets, jumping off highway overpasses to get a glimpse and touch of the ’22 World Cup Champions.
