A Spanish pilot pulled a cruel prank on Argentina fans aboard a flight by falsely informing them that their country had emerged victorious in the World Cup, leading to exuberant celebrations among the passengers.

A video that went viral online captured the enthusiastic reaction of a plane filled with Argentina supporters following the announcement made over the PA system by the pilot.

Passengers clad in the distinctive blue and white stripes of Argentina leaped from their seats and erupted into cheers upon hearing the news, unaware of the actual outcome of the game due to being in-flight during the match.

The pilot, in a rather ruthless manner, declared over the intercom that Argentina had clinched the victory, causing an outburst of excitement in the cabin.

As the passengers remained unaware of the game’s unfolding events, which included their team’s dominance, a red card, and a last-minute goal by Spain, the jubilant atmosphere was abruptly halted when the pilot disclosed that it was all a jest and that Spain had, in fact, won the World Cup.

The initial cheers swiftly turned into a somber silence as the Argentina fans onboard grappled with the sudden disappointment of the truth.

Although the prank sparked chaos both on and off the pitch, with players engaging in altercations and Argentinians protesting in the streets, no disturbances were reported on the plane.

The pilot’s risky joke, while leading to a mix of emotions among the passengers, did not result in any unrest within the aircraft.
