Brazil needed penalties to defeat Mexico in the semi-final, winning 4-1 in the shootout to advance to the gold medal game.

Unai Simon started in goal at the European Championship and remains between the posts for the Olympics. If he can keep a clean sheet in the final, he may beat Brazil goalkeeper Santos to the Golden Glove.
Pedri was also a member of the Euros squad and has played more than any other player in Europe since the start of last season.
