Spain's U23 team secured a spot in the men's football final at the Olympic with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Morocco's U23 team. The last time La Roja stood on the podium of glory was at the 1992 Olympic Games held at home in Barcelona.
Meanwhile, France's U23 team has reached the final twice before. This is the third time in history that the French national team has competed for the gold medal, having previously won at the 1984 LA Olympics.
In the 37 encounters between the two teams, Spain has a better record with 17 wins; France has 13 wins and 7 draws.
The task of winning for France's U23 team is now heavier than ever. They only need one victory to leave a mark in history, to be remembered as heroes of the memorable multi-sport event held in Paris.
Meanwhile, Spain's U23 team has received a lot of attention, as their national team has just won the EURO 2024 championship. The women's national team has also reached the Olympic semi-finals, so this could be a dream summer for Spanish football.
