Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero received the delegation of the Spanish national football team, which has won the World Cup 2010, Marca reports.

Zapatero was very excited and could not restrain emotions.

"Congratulations to the champs and to Spain for this success. I wish to congratulate all 23 players, all Spaniards, the coaching staff and the FA from the heart. This trophy belongs to them and to all the previous generations who tried to win it. They won because they were the best and showcased team work, fair play and excellent behaviour both on and off the pitch," Zapatero said
