A Spanish pilot pulled a cruel prank on Argentina fans aboard a flight by falsely announcing that their country had won the World Cup, leading to exuberant celebrations among the passengers. A video that went viral online captured the moment when the announcement was made over the plane’s PA system, prompting the Argentine fans dressed in blue and white stripes to leap from their seats and cheer ecstatically.
Many of the passengers had missed watching the game live due to being in the air, so they were eagerly awaiting news of the final result. To their surprise, the pilot declared that Argentina had emerged victorious, causing a wave of excitement to sweep through the cabin. Unbeknownst to the passengers, the actual game had seen their team dominate, a red card issued, and a last-minute goal scored by Spain.
Unfortunately, the jubilation was short-lived as the pilot later revealed that it was all a joke and that Spain was the actual World Cup winner. The initial cheers quickly turned into a somber silence as the Argentina fans onboard grappled with the disappointing news. While the prank caused chaos both on and off the pitch, including player altercations and protests in Argentina, the atmosphere on the plane remained calm.
Despite the risky nature of the prank, there were no reported disturbances among the passengers.
