This will be just the second time these two nations have met in the Olympics, with the two teams facing off in the group stage of the 1996 games in Atlanta.

Sylvain Legwinski opened the scoring for France before Oscar Garcia found an equaliser for Spain. Both nations would go on to lose in the last-16 stage of the competition.

France conceded their first goal of the 2024 tournament in the 3-1 comeback victory over Egypt in the semi-finals, a match in which Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta grabbed a brace.

Spain were also forced to come from behind to defeat Morocco in their last-four tie, with Fermin Lopez levelling the scores before Juanlu Sanchez bagged a late winner.
