Madrid erupted in celebration Sunday night as Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 to win the World Cup final in New Jersey.
Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in extra time, securing Spain's second World Cup star. The victory came after a match Spain dominated before Argentina's Enzo Fernandez was sent off.
Thousands of fans flooded the streets of Madrid, chanting "Campeones!" and singing Queen's "We are the Champions." Celebrations erupted across the capital city and the football-mad nation of 50 million people.
An Iberia pilot announced the victory to passengers upon landing at Madrid airport, declaring "We are world champions, ladies and gentlemen."
Fans now anticipate the team's victory parade through Cibeles square later Monday, where approximately one million people are expected to gather.
The win marks Spain's second World Cup title, following their 2010 victory against the Netherlands.
