New Delhi: After sustaining a heartbreak in the semifinals against Germany, the Indian men’s hockey team will look to win the bronze medal against the Spanish team at the Paris Olympics 2024. The 44-year-old dream of clinching the gold medal seems to wait a bit longer for the Indian hockey fans as the team crashed out owing to an unfortunate third-quarter goal from Germany. On the other hand, Spain is coming after being battered and bruised by a dominating Dutch side.
Naturally, both teams are coming after suffering major heartbreaks. Nevertheless, there is a medal at stake for both sides and much to play for especially for India as they bid farewell to their ‘Wall’ of hockey- Sreejesh who is set to retire from international hockey after this game.
