Spain continued their recent dominance of international football by edging past France – who fought back from 3-1 down to force extra time – to win Olympic men’s gold at Paris 2024.

A pulsating match saw the hosts take an early lead, quickly fall 3-1 behind before half-time and then mount a stunning second-half comeback.

However, THIERRY HENRY’s side could not see the job through as Spain substitute SERGIO CAMELLO kept calm in the most tense of situations to score twice in the extra period.

Both goals sparked jubilant celebrations among the Spanish, who mobbed Rayo Vallecano forward Camello as they won Olympic gold for the first time since 1992.

The thrilling triumph continued Spain’s success, little over a month after they won the men’s European Championship, beating England in the final.
