The Olympic Games: Act 3 for Paris's men?

If either of Paris's two first-team players were to go all the way at this summer's Olympic Games, they would join the two men who have already won the event's football tournament whilst being a Rouge et Bleu player: midfielder Jean-Claude Lemoult (at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles) and current captain Marquinhos (at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro). 

While only two players have won Olympic gold whilst under contract at Paris Saint-Germain, a whole host of former Paris first-team players have shone at the Games since Les Bleus' triumph in 1984.

Michel Bensoussan, William Ayache, Michel Bibard, Philippe Jeannol, François Brisson, Jean-Claude Lemoult and Daniel Xuereb were all in the France squad that beat Brazil 2-0 in the final on 11th August 1984 in Los Angeles.

Four years later, in Seoul, Ricardo and Valdo both won the silver medal with the aforementioned Seleção.

Jay-Jay Okocha won the 1996 edition of the tournament in Atlanta with Nigeria thanks to an exceptional performance in the final, with his side running out 3-2 winners over Marcelo Gallardo and Argentina. André Luiz and Brazil, meanwhile, picked up the bronze medal at those Games.

In 2000, former Paris striker Patrick Mboma and (at the time) future Paris midfielder Modeste Mbami won gold with Cameroon in Sydney by beating Spain 5-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Four years later, Gabriel Heinze's Argentina earned a 1-0 win over Paraguay in the final in Athens.

In 2008, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Angel Di María finished on the top step of the podium with La Albiceleste following a 1-0 win over Nigeria, with the latter of the two players scoring the winning goal in that game, while Ronaldinho's and Thiago Silva's Brazil were forced to settle for bronze.

At the next Olympics, Silva and Lucas fell at the final hurdle as they were beaten 2-1 by Mexico in London on 11th August 2012, thereby putting an end to a run of four consecutive gold medals won by players to have featured for Paris at some stage.

2016 saw Marquinhos crowned as a gold medallist with Brazil thanks to their 5-4 penalty-shootout win over Germany following a 1-1 draw. Two future Paris players would also get their hands on the gold medal on home soil: Rafinha and Neymar Jr, the latter of whom scored in the final.

Brazil would retain their title at the most recent Olympics in Japan, with former Paris defender Dani Alves captaining his side to a 2-1 win over Marco Asensio's and Carlos Soler's Spain in Yokohama.

So, could it become a hat trick of gold medals for Paris's men this summer? Find out at the Parc des Princes on 9th August.
