On Wednesday, Thierry Henry expressed his pleasure after reaching the final of the football tournament in the 2024 Paris Games, after defeating Egypt 3-1 in a battle that extended to extra time.
Henry said: "I am going to be honest, I am mainly happy for Team France because when you see everyone picking up medals all over the place, you say to yourself that you can't let them down."
France aim to win gold for the second time, 40 years after their triumph in Los Angeles. They will face Spain in the final.
Henry added: "You don't want to be the team that doesn't win a medal, so at least that is done, and now we will see what colour we get.
"But honestly I am living a dream and I don't want to wake up."
"You know how difficult it is going to be against them. They are often in the finals of competitions, in both men's and women's football."
France's Mateta said: "It is a dream to be in the final and I can't wait to be in Paris."
"We have been talking about the Games for a year and a half now and finally we get to go to Paris."
