<p>Spain continued their good run in international football with a thrilling 5-3 victory over France to secure Olympic men&rsquo;s gold at Paris 2024. The Spaniards overcame a spirited French comeback to claim their first Olympic title since 1992.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The hosts, managed by Thierry Henry, drew first blood early in the match, sending the Parisian crowd into raptures.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>In the second half, France staged an impressive comeback, clawing their way back to 3-3, forcing the match into extra time. The momentum appeared to be with the French, but Spain's substitute, Sergio Camello, had other plans.</p>
<p>In the extra period, Camello scored twice, both times sparking wild celebrations among the Spanish players and fans. The Rayo Vallecano forward's decisive strikes ensured Spain's triumph and capped off a memorable tournament.</p>
<p>This victory adds to Spain's recent success on the international stage. Just over a month ago, they lifted the men&rsquo;s European Championship Euro 2924), defeating England in the final. Their youth teams have also shone brightly, with the men's under-19 squad claiming the European title last month, and the women&rsquo;s team winning the World Cup last year.</p>
