Relive the match here:
Spain take gold, France take silver, and Morocco take bronze in the Olympic men's football.
It is Spain's first footballing gold since the Barcelona games in 1992.
The wait goes on for France, who last won in 1984, and were desperate to do so in front of a home crowd.
The French players are making their way around the Parc des Princes and showing their appreciation to the French fans.
The crowd stuck with them throughout, but they were unable to deliver a win.
The final whistle blows. Spain are Olympic champions after a 5-3 win over the host nation.
Another jewel in the Spanish football crown after triumphs at the European Championships and the Women's World Cup.
The future looks bright after a victory fuelled by young talent. The present is not so bad either.
Sky Sports' Peter Smith:
"What a way to seal it. A brilliant counter-attack goal and classy finish from Camello.
"Spain add Olympic gold to Euro 2024 glory."
Game over.
Heartbreak for France.
A lethal Spanish counter seals the win as Tenas launches long to find Camello who runs through and finishes expertly.
Sky Sports' Peter Smith:
"It's getting desperate for France now. Time is running out on their Olympic dream..."
118: Better from France. Positive play from Cherki, but Tenas is there again to gather the cross.
116: Brilliant footwork as Doue breezes past a couple Spain defenders and wins a corner.
Olise's corner is gathered by Tenas.
113: Henry has played all his cards.
Only substitute remaining on the French bench is goalkeeper Nkambadio.
