Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas has revealed that Cristian Romero and his Argentina teammates had to be evacuated using a helicopter after some fans jumped onto the open-top bus during the victory parade in Buenos Aires.
The World Cup in Qatar could not have been scripted any better for the Argentineans and Lionel Messi, with the Albiceleste overcoming France in the final on penalties after playing out a dramatic 3-3 draw.

It was clear from the celebrations just what it meant to Lionel Scaloni and his players as the South American nation got their hands on the trophy after a 36-year wait, thus sealing Messi’s legacy as the greatest to play the game.
As one would expect, the last few days have seen celebrations through the length and breadth of Argentina, none grander than in Buenos Aires.
Unbelievable, joyous and emotional celebrations in Buenos Aires. Just look what Argentina's World Cup win means.

Romero even took to social media yesterday to post an image of the players’ bus top parade around the city.

However, Thomas has now revealed that the parade went wrong as a few fans jumped onto the bus from an overhanging bridge, which meant there had to be an emergency evacuation of the players.
#Argentina's World Cup-winning bus parade in Buenos Aires abandoned due to security concerns. Fans jumped onto bus from an overhanging bridge. Players evacuated via helicopter. Such a shame, but amazing scenes. All on @SkySportsNews this evening #SSN #ARG

Romero and his teammates will likely continue their celebrations through the week and who can blame them? It could take them a couple of weeks to come down from the high of Sunday night, which is why the centre-back seems unlikely to feature in the Boxing Day clash against Brentford.
