Spain beat hosts France in eight-goal Olympic football final 🇪🇸

He can barely move, Jean-Philippe Mateta. He's leaving everything out there. And now Spain can win it in the final seconds with Camao. He's done it again. Spain will win the gold. And it's the super sub Sergio Camao that puts the seal on victory. It's tough for France to take. But you have to say, Spain have navigated this game absolutely perfectly. They were in trouble. They found a way out of it. There's Simparis. He was at fault for the first goal, Terenas. But I'll tell you something now. Not only has he made some important saves, but then he's just gone and set this one up perfectly. Spain have done it. Bless Simparis. Arms of the French. But it's Spain's title yet again. The men's team. Women's team. Under-23s. Magnificent performance in the latter stages by Spain when things got really difficult. Mbembe has delivered the business early on. When France came back at 3-0, you feared for the Spanish. But they found a way to win it. They had all the know-how. All the quality. And all the composure. Is it any wonder that nobody can beat the Spanish these days? Nobody gave more than Bateta. He'll hobble off. And the French players will be devastated to miss out on gold. In years to come, when they look back at their silver medals, there'll be plenty of reasons for pride. Not least for playing their part in a wonderful match here. It finishes Spain 5, France 3 after extra time. Spain are the Olympic champions. Thierry Henry said he was living a dream and that he didn't want to wake up. Reality has bitten. For the French coach. He and his side. Performed magnificently over the last few days. Hats off to the Spanish team. It's been a great watch. I have to compliment both sets of players for a magnificent final that I've been very privileged to be part of. I think when you come down to the nuts and bolts of it. When you come down to moments in games. I just have to say the Spanish in the extra time period was superb. You want a lesson on how to defend without the ball and how to counter attack. And how to stop momentum. Spain did that perfectly during extra time. The substitutions that he made. Made a massive, massive impact on the game. When you're bringing off your best players. Baena, Lopez, Ruiz. The players that you think that are so, so key to the Spanish success. And then they go and do it. But hats off to France as well. Being a host nation. The expectation of Sierras on these sides. To get to a gold medal is not easy. But I have to say they put up one hell of a fight. When you go 3-1 down. To come back and show that. Nerve. And that resilience. Which is certainly being complimented by these French fans in the ground. But I have to say overall. Maybe, maybe. France have just come up a little bit short. And Spain deserve the gold medal. They've won the hearts of. All of the fans that have followed them all around the country. In Marseille and Nice. And Nantes and Lyon. It's been a very successful. Men's Olympic football tournament. And in any football tournament. You always want a strong side from the hosts. And Thierry Henry. And his backroom team gave us that. Despite all of those players that they couldn't call upon. You wonder. What some of them will be thinking. Having watched the remarkable reception that the French players have had in recent days.
