The Rayo Vallecano: Spain continued their good run in international football with a thrilling 5-3 victory over France to secure Olympic men’s gold at Paris 2024. The Spaniards overcame a spirited French comeback to claim their first Olympic title since 1992.

The hosts, managed by Thierry Henry, drew first blood early in the match, sending the Parisian crowd into raptures.

However, Spain quickly responded, turning the tide with three quick goals before the half-time whistle. The 3-1 score line seemed to put the Spaniards in control, but France was not ready to surrender on home soil.
