00:00Spain are crowned football champions at the Paris Olympics after beating hosts France 5-3 in a heart-stopping final.
00:12The gold medal for the men's team is the cherry on the cake of a perfect summer after the Euro 2024 victory in July.
00:22The final was decided only in extra time as the team's finished level 3-3, Rayo Vallecano's Sergio Camello, struck twice to bring home the trophy.

00:43The third place went to Germany instead after a 1-0 win marked by a penalty in the 64th minute.
00:52Spain had the opportunity to equalise with a penalty in the 9th minute of stoppage time, but it was saved by Germany's goalkeeper Ann-Kathrin Boerger.
