However, Spain had a bad start to the Olympic final, largely thanks to some bizarre goalkeeping. It was a disastrous moment for the 23-year-old but the Paris crowd went wild as Thierry Henry’s side took the lead. Millot put France ahead after 11 minutes but the Spaniards were ahead after 25 thanks to a brace from Fermin Lopez. There was further delight for Spain just three minutes later when Villarreal star Alex Baena curled in a beautifully judged free-kick. However, Spain ruined the party, as Sergio Camello rose from the bench to score twice and complete a wild 5-3 win.
