The Iberia Airbus A350, named Paco de Lucía and carrying the entire team, arrived waving a Spanish flag from the cockpit and was received with honors on the runway of the Madrid airport.
Rodri and De la Fuente were the first to exit the plane door to offer the trophy to those present. The Madrid midfielder raised the World Cup to the sky of Adolfo Suárez Airport accompanied by the Spanish coach just before Rafael Louzán, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, joined them. Aymeric Laporte, Lamine Yamal, Álex Baena, and Marcos Llorente were the first to walk down to the tarmac after the captain, the coach, and the Federation president. Once the entire delegation had left the plane, they took the usual photo on the tarmac with the trophy.
