The celebrations of the Argentine fans for the pass of the albiceleste to the final of the World Cup in Qatar are going around the world through social networks. From ‘grandma’, who has already become one of the figures of these festivities, to two young people who have starred in an iconic scene in La Plata (Argentina).
The viral photo. The photographer Flor Domínguez was present at the massive celebration that took place at corners 7 and 50 of the Argentine city, where she witnessed how a girl and a boy climbed on top of a traffic light to wave the flag and the shirt of their country. At one point, they both kissed and the photographer captured the moment, which she later posted on her Twitter account.
In numbers. The image has spread like wildfire on social media. Proof of this is that the photographer’s tweet has more than 162,200 ‘likes’ and more than 14,000 retweets at the time of writing this article.
Other takes. However, Flor Domínguez was not the only one who wanted to immortalize these fans, and her publication has served as a thread for other users to publish their artistic captures.
The protagonist speaks. After several media echoed the photo and referred to them as a ‘couple’, Violeta, the girl who appears in the images, has manifested on Twitter to explain that they did not know each other previously and that magic arose spontaneously at the traffic light.
The tweet has had the same or more impact than the initial image, and users have filled the comments asking how the story progressed.
However, the young woman has not wanted to give more details for the moment despite the massive requests she is receiving both on Twitter and on her Instagram account.
