Barcelona youngster Fermín, who was a substitute for the Spanish adult national team that won Euro 2024, has expressed his goal of winning the Olympic title next.
At the Euros, Spain's dominance is unique. After winning Euro 2024, Spain edged out Germany for the most Euro wins with four. Winning the Euro + Olympics in the same year would also be a great achievement.In 2012, when Spain was in full swing, the adult national team won three consecutive titles, but none of their national Olympic team advanced to the Olympics that year.
At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Spain won the Men's Football Championship, the only time in the team's history that it has won the Olympic Men's Football Championship. At the previous Olympics, Spain Olympic Games reached the final, losing 10:2 to the reigning Brazilian Olympic champions and finishing second.
Morocco is a traditional African soccer powerhouse, winning the African Cup of Nations in 1976. In the 1/8 finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Ashraf-led Morocco eliminated Spain 3:0 on penalties, eventually reaching the semifinals and finishing as hall of famers, creating the best finish by an African team at the World Cup. However, at the Olympics, Morocco's achievement was not worth mentioning.
The Moroccan Olympics have an impressive record at this year's Olympics, just like Morocco at the 2022 World Cup. In the group stage, the team defeated Argentina Olympics 2:1, and finally beat Argentina Olympics first place in the group. In the quarterfinals, the Moroccan Olympics swept the U.S. Olympics 4:0 to reach the semifinals, creating the best Olympic record in the team's history.
This Moroccan Olympic team, led by Ashraf, is worth a total of 165 million euros and has good young players such as Akhomaki, Abboud and Elhanous.
The Spanish Olympic team, worth a total of 370 million euros, naturally features two new Barcelona stars in Fermín and Cubasi, Villarreal's Baena and Atletico Madrid's Omorodion, but there were no big name overage players recruited, and Yamal, who has just turned 17, didn't show up. Of course, the players who played in the Europa League this summer were so tired that recruiting them might not have worked out well.
Alvarez, for example, who won the Copa America with his team in 2024, was clearly tired at the Olympics. As the most valuable player of the Olympics, he did not score a goal, and the Argentine Olympics also scored in the 0/4 final. : 1 Loss to France Olympics.
This top scorer for the Spanish national Olympics, Fermin, only had 28 minutes as a Euro substitute this summer.
In the group stage of the 2012 Olympic Games, the two sides of the National Olympic Games had met once, 0: 0 boring draw, and finally both groups out of the game.
The Moroccan National Olympics are good, while the Spanish National Olympics are getting stronger, and we can look for the Spanish National Olympics to make it to the finals for the second Olympics in a row.
