Chaotic celebrations after Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey fell a little flat when the prized trophy was dropped from the top of the ceremonial open-top bus.
One of the players, Sergio Ramos, managed to lose his grip on the cup after holding it above his head.
It ended up under the wheels of the double-decker bus before being retrieved by police on the ground, who returned it to the bus driver.
Thousands of euphoric fans watched the trophy fall after packing into the Spanish capital to welcome the champions home.

Fined for walking dog while in car
An elderly disabled woman in Wisconsin was ticketed for allowing her dog to walk free without a leash while she drove behind in a car, The Capital Times reported yesterday.
Police said the 70-year-old woman's neighbours had called in about the unleashed dog wreaking havoc in Madison, Wisconsin.
"At the time of the complaints, the officer tried, without success, to contact the pet owner," police spokesman Joel DeSpain told the paper. "Now, after seeing the little white dog strolling down East Mifflin with a car following close behind, it rang a bell and he had the chance to talk to her."
As the officer approached the vehicle, the dog fell back and jumped into the front seat on his owner's lap, the report said.
The woman was slapped with a $114 fine for "permitting a dog to run at large" and given a stern warning not to repeat the mistake again.

Man superglued tiny hat to his head
AN ENGLISH man got himself in a sticky predicament when he didn't quite think through his Halloween costume.
Shawn Merter had a tiny sequinned top-hat to round out his outfit, but rather than tie it on with string, he superglued it to his head.
"I had fabric glue which is washable, but it wasn't sticky enough," he says in the video.
The point at which he realised his mistake is unknown, but the next morning an embarrassed Shawn was in the emergency ward at the hospital to have the formerly fashionable, now ridiculous headpiece removed.
His understanding boyfriend was there to offer support and muffled giggles as the doctor gave him the bad news; the best they could do is cut off part of the hat, leaving the rim stuck to his scalp until it came off on its own.
