This included another 2 goals from Soufiane Rahimi, who has played ver well throughout. The win brings to an yet another hugely impressive international tournament for the North African side.
The French were desperate for their side get to the final of a competition they are hosting and Thierry Henry and his players have duly delivered. They were pushed all the way in their semi-final against Egypt but the country is now guaranteed its first Olympic soccer medal in 40 years. With the benefit of home advantage, Les Bleus will be expecting to make it gold. They face a very talented Spain side. La Roja have though lost a game already at Paris 2024 and have not been quite the free-scoring side we’re used to. However, Fermin Lopez continues to impress and Sergio Gomez is a threat up front. This should be a fantastic final.
The chance to get an Olympic gold medal is a rare one for footballers and those in Paris will take it seriously. Make sure you don’t miss a single moment from the Paris Games by checking out our guide on how to watch Olympics 2024.
Where to watch men's soccer at Olympics 2024 for FREE
Australian viewers looking to enjoy every moment of the 2024 Paris Olympics are in luck, as the entire festival of sport will be broadcast for FREE across Channel 9 and 9Gem.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view your usual U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer and watch men's soccer at the Olympics live online.
How to watch men's soccer at Olympics 2024 in the U.S.

These may be included with your cable package.
However, your best option is NBC’s streaming service Peacock as it’s set to live stream every event at the Paris Olympics promising to offer a daily recap with highlights of all the biggest medal-winning moments. To tune in, you'll need either a Premium subscription ($7.99/month) or Premium Plus ($13.99/month, which also gets rid of some ads).

Or you could go for Fubo. Its Pro Plan costs $79.99 per month, though you get 121 channels for that hefty investment, including all the NBC channels showing Olympics 2024 events.

Brits who don’t want to miss a single second of the action will need to invest in Discovery Plus. A subscription will cost you £6.99 per month (reduced to £3.99 per month during the Olympics) for the Standard plan which includes the action from Paris 2024.
