Paris: It's been a golden summer for Spanish soccer.

Less than a month after winning the European Championship, Spain followed up with a thrilling 5-3 extra-time victory in the Olympic men's final against France on Friday.

Sergio Camello's two goals at Parc des Princes eventually sealed a dramatic match, which had seen France fight back from 3-1 down to force extra time.

"We are the happiest children in the world,” said Camello, who had come on as an 83rd-minute substitute.

Spain's coach Santi Denia said his players deserved to cry "tears of joy” after "such a long-suffering match.”
