GERMANY HAVE RETURNED home from the World Cup to a rapturous reception in Berlin.
“We are all world champions,” manager Joachim Löw told the crowd of hundreds of thousands at Brandenburg Gate in the city centre.
Here are the best photos from the action this morning.
Philip Lahm led his men off the plane at Tegel airport
Where the team bus was awaiting the players
Fans at Brandenburg Gate were standing by patiently
With plenty of colour in the crowd
The team arrived into the city on an open-top truck
As police parted the masses of supporters
Some fans clambered up traffic lights for a better view
While these construction workers had the best vantage point of all
Mario Götze got his hands on the trophy again
Before hundreds of thousands at Brandenburg Gate greeted their heroes
The German coaching team looked like a rock group
But it was the players who put on a show
