On July 15, 2024, an estimated 2 million people flooded the streets of Madrid to celebrate the Spanish national football team's victory in the UEFA Euro 2024 final. The team defeated England 2-1 in Berlin, securing their fourth European Championship title.
The celebration, organized by the Madrid city council, featured an open-top bus parade from the Santiago Bernabéu stadium to the Plaza de Cibeles, where players and fans gathered. Captain Álvaro Morata and coach Luis de la Fuente addressed the crowd, with chants of 'Campeones del mundo' echoing through the city.
Security was tight, with over 1,000 police officers deployed to manage the massive crowds. No major incidents were reported, and the event was widely covered by Spanish media as a historic moment for the nation.
