Messi and 4 others don’t notice the telegrams: near tragedy on Argentina’s open bus

Argentina can’t sleep: ever since it heard about the departure of the plane from Doha that took the world champions home, no one went to sleep, immediately starting the party. It didn’t matter that the flight first stopped in Rome and then departed again and made another 14-hour journey before landing in Buenos Aires in the middle of the night at 2:30 pm.

To welcome players thousands and thousands of people who had already crowded the city streets, sending the city into a tailspin🇧🇷 Thus was born an immense spontaneous party between the crowd in the street and the players in the open bus and there was, however, also a moment when everything could turn into a tragedy, fortunately barely touched.

The moment has arrived that millions of Argentines have been waiting for since Sunday, when the team became world champion, when there “Staircase” landed at Buenos Aires airport around 6:30 am Italian of the long journey that brought her home from Doha. An impressive crowd awaited the players in an extraordinary crowd that cheered Messi and his teammates. In this festive context, the Government declared Tuesday, December 20, a national holiday.

The schedule for the day was to arrive around 2:30 am and make a quick stop by the AFA, Argentine Football Federation, where the players and the delegation could rest before resuming the celebrations around midday, but everything came to nothing. before the ‘enormous influx of supporters and citizens who saluted the coach. The first to get off the plane were obviously Lionel Messi, captain of the Argentine national team, and Lionel Scaloni, coach of the world champion. with the World Cup in hand. Then, one by one, the players boarded the bus that was waiting for them to take them to the AFA headquarters, with the traditional “Muchachos!” now the official soundtrack of the 3rd World Cup in Argentina.

Incredible images, of an ocean of people that surrounded the trip and obviously ruined any organized route, with the bus taking an hour and a half to travel the three kilometers that separate the headquarters of the Football Federation from the ‘airport’. scenes from “madness” authentic that personally involved the players themselves who, despite being very tired, did not miss the opportunity to kick off the dance. As the crowd cheered them on, five climbed onto the roof of the open bus: Paredes, De Paul, Otamendi and Di Maria along with Leo Messi. A risky move because along the way, the five did not notice several electrical cables that crossed the road and risked ending up on the asphalt🇧🇷

In the images transmitted live on Argentine TV, we can see how the five players are committed to greeting the fans, unaware of the imminent danger: suddenly the bus turns to the left and they appear three to four electrical wires at head height. Fortunately, at the last moment they realize the danger and duck to avoid the worst with the Juventus player, Paredes, who is the last to notice and brushes his head on the shaft, losing his cap.

The program provides that the “official party” does not start before 12:00 in Argentina, but most fans will obviously remain in the streets hoping to be able to hug the Argentine national team players again when they leave the AFA headquarters a new caravan heading to the Obelisk, through a pre-established route🇧🇷
