The plane landed on the runways of Barajas T4, around 9:00 p.m., with the Spanish flag hovering over the cockpit. The World Cup was coming to the country that belongs to it, with some 20,000 people waiting to toast it in madrid river, headquarters chosen by the Federation to celebrate the title. When the airplane door opened, the players began to file toward the ground, many of them wearing sunglasses, a long journey from the antipodes. At his side, a more restrained Rubiales, arms on the shoulders of the heroines, low profile after his effusive celebration in Sydney. Much love to Carmona, as is logical, despite the fact that the Sevillian did not reject the festivities, although with a regretful gesture. Brave on the pitch and off it.
An impressive police parade that led to the selection through the streets of the capital, dozens of police motorcycles guarding the treasure and the conquerors, with the bus at full speed towards where the fans were waiting, animated by an unparalleled display of lights and music.
Puerta de Alcalá, Gran Vía… the military caravan of the national team, including mounted police, added some spice to the phantasmagorical Madrid August, passers-by came to greet the national car with encouragement and emotion while the players, microphone in hand, they handed out verses of their favorite songs.
triumphant arrival
The pot was about to explode and, after midnight, the protagonists began to jump on stage. Hermoso, Bonmatí, Putellas, Paralluelo… the ovations piled up until the trophy, securely attached, came out supported by the three protagonists that the night demanded: Ivana Andrés (captain), Jorge Vilda (coach) and Olga Carmona. “We said that we were going to get you up, that we were going to take you out on the street and here we bring you the World Cup,” shouted the coach, who this time was not booed, in addition to remembering the players who were not present (interpreted how to interpret).
“Yesterday was the best day of my life, but suddenly it became the worst,” said Carmona, before uncorking tears, when referring to the death of his father shortly before the final against England. Emotions kidnapped by Hermoso, who wanted to claim, in front of her countrymen, how special the moment was for her: “I just wanted to say that we people from Madrid are the best!” Shouted one of the most outstanding players in the World Cup moments before that the group ‘Camela’ stormed the stage and turned the celebration into a typhoon.
“We’re going to mess it up and that’s it”, he wanted to rush the microphone to the staff, the players anxious for some privacy, the gala finale delayed by the compliments and by Misa imitating the engine of a Ferrari. The end of a coexistence of more than two months and a lot of tensions, with the selection imprisoned by its own mythology, an epic that began with a riot and ended at the top of the world, with a title conquered thousands of kilometers from home, as in the best stories, and celebrated with the countrymen, as it should be.
“Let all the girls play this sport”, was one of the last phrases heard before the curtain fell, the motto of a team that has wanted to transcend not only the past or the present, but also the future. . “World Champions”.
