Caption: Spain Celebrates Through the Night After World Cup Glory. Thousands of jubilant fans filled Madrid's streets on Sunday night after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time to win the FIFA World Cup. Supporters waving Spanish flags gathered in the capital's main squares, chanting, singing and setting off flares as celebrations continued into the early hours. Similar scenes unfolded across the country, with football fans pouring into city centres to mark Spain's second world title. The celebrations are expected to continue on Monday, as the team's flight from the United States nears Spanish airspace ahead of its arrival in Madrid. The players are due to be received by King Felipe VI and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez before taking part in an open-top bus parade through the capital. More than one million people are expected to line the parade route, which will end at Plaza de Cibeles, the traditional venue for celebrating major sporting successes. The homecoming is expected to crown one of the biggest celebrations in recent Spanish sporting history after a night of nationwide jubilation.
