André Jardine, in a press conference, commented on Brazil in the Olympics: "The three above age gave experience to the team, a touch of maturity that we lacked. We suffered a lot in the pre-Olympics, especially in the defensive system, which is where we lacked the most experience. Usually, younger goalkeepers play less and younger defenders have low minutes. Experience only comes with time and decisive games. Talking about Santos, Daniel Alves, and Diego Carlos is talking about experience and players who are already established at their clubs, perhaps at the peak of their careers. We see Dani in an impressive physical shape at the age of 38, and the maturity he has speaks for itself in the game. Correct decisions, very lucid and very experienced. The three of them brought a north to the younger ones. Santos is a simple athlete, with an incredible humility. A player that transmits serenity and tranquility in his posture, in his way of training and playing. For me, he is an athlete of the highest level. When we called him up, it reminded me a lot of the situation Weverton went through in the other Olympics. He comes with all the appetite to seek his space, players have this motivation and aim to conquer their spaces in the main national team. He understood that, besides going down in history as an Olympic champion, he can send a message to the senior team: 'I'm here, you can count on me too'".

André Jardine will not have any absentees and may go with full strength for the match. Meanwhile, Luis de La Fuente does not know if he can count on Ceballos, who is injured and is a doubt.

In the semifinals Spain beat Japan 1-0, earning a place in the final. Meanwhile, Brazil drew 0-0 with Mexico and won on penalties, 4-1.

In the quarterfinals Brazil faced Egypt and managed a simple victory, 1-0, qualifying for the semis.
Spain qualified by thrashing Ivory Coast 5-2, a team that scored only two goals in three games in the group stage.

In group D Brazil went through first, with seven points, while Ivory Coast went through with five. With four, Germany was third and Saudi Arabia, who did not score any points, was last.

In Group C, Spain took five points, moving into first place. Egypt came second, with four points, for having a goal difference, while Argentina got the same four points, with -1 goal difference. Australia, on the other hand, had three points and moved into fourth place.

Spain opened the group phase with a scoreless draw against Egypt. After that came a 1-0 win over Australia and then another draw, this time 1-1 with Argentina, which qualified Spain for the next round.

In the group phase Brazil made its debut with a great victory, 4-2, over Germany. Against Ivory Coast came the first shock, with a scoreless draw in the second round. In the last one, a 3-1 win over Saudi Arabia put Brazil in the quarterfinals.
