France and Spain vying for Olympic gold at Paris 2024, clash in the football final at Parc des Princes.

After a thrilling quarter-final victory over Argentina, France was just one game away from securing a spot in the Olympic final and potentially claiming their first football gold since 1984.

Their path to the final was not without drama, as they had to mount a comeback against 10-man Egypt in Lyon. Thanks to two crucial goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, including a late equalizer from a Michael Olise assist, France avoided a potential playoff for bronze. Mateta then headed in the decisive goal in extra time, and Olise later sealed the victory with a goal of his own. This secured France their first football medal in 40 years.

In Friday's final, France will face a motivated Spain team, eager to cap off a successful year that saw their senior squad achieve greatness in Germany. Spain's Olympic team has impressed, with their only defeat coming in a group game where they fielded a significantly altered lineup. They displayed resilience in their comeback against Morocco in the semi-finals, overturning a deficit to secure a place in the gold medal match.

With players like Fermin Lopez and Alex Baena, who were part of Spain's Euro 2024 triumph, the Spanish team enters the final with confidence and will look to outshine their hosts in Paris, who are banking on a victory to continue their nation's golden run.
