The Albiceleste will spend the night in its training center, near the airport, where thousands of fans who have come to wait for them hope to see them.
They will then make a big loop around midday in the city center, celebrated by a huge crowd at the top of an Imperial bus, Tuesday having been declared a public holiday by the government.
Leo Messi, the captain and emblem of Argentine success in Qatar was the first to appear at the top of the boarding stairs, brandishing the golden World Cup trophy, to win the red carpet rolled out on the tarmac of the Ezeiza business airport.
The Aerolinas Argentinas Airbus A330 bore the inscription "one team, one country, one dream" and on its rear wing are drawings of Messi or Angel di Maria, the other hero of the final, author of the 2nd goal against France.
The players immediately boarded the white double-decker bus, flocked with 3 stars and the "campeon del mundo", in which they will be cheered on in the afternoon during their lap of honor.
"Muchachos" resounded in a loop, a sort of unofficial selection anthem sung loudly by the supporters, which summons, in addition to Messi, the memories of Maradona and his parents Don Diego and Dona Tota, but also the war of the 1982 Falklands between Argentina and the United Kingdom.
