Spanish National Team's 'Matador Red' Plane Lands in Buenos Aires, Angering Argentine Fans
According to Spanish newspaper El Mundo, a specially painted Iberia Airlines Airbus A350-941, the exclusive charter for the Spanish national team, landed at Buenos Aires' Ezeiza International Airport shortly after the Argentine national team returned from losing the World Cup final. The aircraft, registration EC-MYX, features a 'Matador Red' livery with large portraits of Spanish players Cucurella, Merino, Fabián, and Olmo, along with the slogan 'A team takes off, a nation soars.' The timing of the landing, just as Argentine players dejectedly returned from the final venue in New York, has sparked widespread outrage among Argentine fans on social media, who accuse Iberia of being 'extremely inconsiderate.' Spanish netizens have joked that the plane should be permanently assigned to the Madrid-Buenos Aires route. While the flight plan was set before the final result, the coincidence has been described as 'rubbing salt in the wound' for Argentines.
