 Neptune Square was filled as the evening progressed, where DJ Carlos Jean was encouraging and warming up the party until 20.08 hours when the crowd exploded with the arrival of their champions. The first to take the stage were the players of Atletico Madrid Handball, with JJ Hombrados at the head.

Then it was time for the idols of the 'tenth'. One by one, with the fans chanting their name, all of the first team players made their way around the Neptune Fountain. The captain Gabi addressed all present: "This is for all of you." Simeone then acknowledged the support and affection of the fans: "We did what we had to do: win and win at the Bernabeu. We must believe."
