Drone captures sea of fans celebrating in Buenos Aires after Argentina's World Cup win – video

Ecstatic fans celebrate Argentina's historic win over France at the iconic Obelisk in Buenos Aires, chanting and hugging one other.

The streets filled with a carnivalesque cacophony of cheers, car horns, cumbia music and bullhorns; people started impromptu drumming bands with upturned paint buckets and cans while slabs of beef grilled on the asados (barbecues), its scent filling the air of a brilliant sunny afternoon.

Today in France everything looks and feels dead (at least from where I live), but it's not the same as losing by a single goal like in the euro 2016. We all saw a wonderful game that gave us multiple heart attacks and in the end it needed a winner and it wasn't us. Congratulations to Argentina and see you in 4 years.
