A spokesman for the Argentina FA said: "The players of the Argentine soccer team ended the festivities by flying over in a helicopter over the crowd of fans who gathered in the city.
"They made that decision after verifying that they could not continue advancing by bus in the middle of the crowd."
AFA president Claudio Tapia added: "They don't let us get to greet all the people who were at the Obelisk.
"The same security agencies that escorted us don't allow us to move forward."
