An estimated two million people flooded the Spanish capital on Monday afternoon to celebrate the national team's World Cup triumph. As the players paraded through the city, they shared their joy with fans, but also delivered some provocative messages.

Lamine Yamal held up a banner for the camera that read "Velada del Año: Paredes vs. Gavi," referencing a popular celebrity boxing event in Spain. The next gala is scheduled for this Saturday at 7:00 PM.

The young Barcelona winger ironically implied that Leandro Paredes' behavior, who physically attacked Gavi after Argentina's final loss, resembled a boxing match.

Spain's winning goal scorer also opted for a provocative gesture. Ferran Torres appeared on the streets of Madrid wearing a cap emblazoned with "Make Spain Great Again," a clear nod to the well-known slogan from the American president's election campaign.

Royal Welcome

Following the official celebrations, the Spanish royal family received the footballers at Zarzuela Palace. The national team then moved to Moncloa Palace, where they met with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
