France suffered in the semifinal of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games against Egypt, having to equalize the game 1-1 in the last minute through Jean-Philippe Mateta, who took everything to extra time and in the end became the hero by scoring the 2-1 that gave his team confidence, although it was ultimately Michael Olise who determined the 3-1 that confirmed they would play for gold against Spain.
Despite the difficulty after that first blow from Mahmoud Saber in the 62nd minute, the team led by Thierry Henry regrouped and also had an important player like the experienced Alexandre Lacazette.
Now, the French will play at home for the Olympic gold against a also powerful Spain, which earlier defeated Morocco 2-1 after goals from Fermín López and Juanlu Sánchez.
