Spain, the runner-up from the previous Olympic Games, made a triumphant return at the 2024 Paris Olympics by capturing gold in men’s football. They secured a 5-3 victory over host nation France in extra time, marking their second Olympic gold medal in the sport. This victory echoes their 1992 triumph in Barcelona, where Kiko’s late goal clinched the title for La Roja.
The star of the Paris Games final was Rayo Vallecano’s young talent, Sergio Camello. He cleverly dinked the ball past French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes during the first half of extra time, securing the win against Thierry Henry’s French side. This victory marks a significant moment for Spain, solidifying their position as a dominant force in international football.
