The scene is quite crazy, and could have led to tragedy.
Argentina's players paraded on a bus on their return home after their victory in the World Cup final against France (3-3, 4-2 on pens), to present the trophy to the Argentine people .
But Lionel Messi, Leandro Paredes, Angel Di Maria, Nicolas Otamendi and Rodrigo De Paul did not go far from disaster when the bus passed under cables.
Positioned at the rear of the vehicle, on the rear window, they had to hurry to bend down so as not to be knocked down by a cable.
⚽️🇦🇷 We haven't gone far from the drama.
Only victim to deplore: the cap of Paredes.

In the end, only Leandro Paredes' cap fell on the road, fortunately.
Messi's teammates marched late Monday night after arriving around midnight local time.
They are expected this Tuesday noon, still local time, in the Obelisk Square in Buenos Aires to continue celebrating this World Cup victory, while the president has declared a public holiday for the whole country.
