Euro 2008 champions Spain have arrived home to a heroes' welcome from about one million ecstatic fans in Madrid.
They arrived at Madrid Barajas airport about 1840 BST in a plane with "Campeones" (champions) written on it.
They then paraded the Henri Delaunay trophy on an open-top bus on their way to a packed Plaza de Colon.
As the bus travelled down Madrid's main Paseo de la Castellana avenue the crowd chanted "Si, si, si la copa ya esta aqui" (yes, yes, the cup is now here).
The crowd also chanted "Luis quedate!" (Luis stay), in a plea to 69-year-old coach Luis Aragones to reverse his decision to quit.
Journalists travelling on the team plane said the players had also encouraged him to continue
