&lt;p&gt;The Paris Olympics cap off an extraordinary summer for international football, following Spain`s triumph at Euro 2024 and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/altro/lautaro-seals-argentina-s-triumph-in-copa-america-715lobb&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Argentina`s victory in the Copa America&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. In this five-ring spectacle, national teams field U-23 players, born on or after January 1, 2001, with the option to include up to three overage players. This setup provides an opportunity to showcase new talents and to see familiar faces from our league compete on an international stage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let`s review the journey of the Serie A Enilive players participating in the Paris 2024 Olympics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The host nation, France, coached by Thierry Henry, won &lt;strong&gt;Group A&lt;/strong&gt; with a maximum points, finishing ahead of the &lt;strong&gt;United States&lt;/strong&gt;, who came in second with six points. The American midfield featured a duo from &lt;strong&gt;Venezia&lt;/strong&gt;, with &lt;strong&gt;Tanner Tessmann,&lt;/strong&gt; the team`s captain, and &lt;strong&gt;Gianluca Busio.&lt;/strong&gt; The Italian-American Busio scored in the 4-1 victory over New Zealand but had to go off injured. The injury also kept him out of the final game against &lt;strong&gt;Guinea &lt;/strong&gt;(3-0). For the African side, Atalanta`s Henry Camara clocked a total of 30 minutes of play.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;4ab841b3-6901-4700-b7d4-92d9f2efdfea&#34; data-image-id=&#34;4ab841b3-6901-4700-b7d4-92d9f2efdfea&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/f53d6933-e547-47be-8e7e-60450a520a12/Sito_HERO_BUSIO.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;4ab841b3-6901-4700-b7d4-92d9f2efdfea&#34; data-image-id=&#34;4ab841b3-6901-4700-b7d4-92d9f2efdfea&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;Group B&lt;/strong&gt;, everything was decided in the final round, with all four teams level on points after the first two matches. &lt;strong&gt;Morocco&lt;/strong&gt;, captained by Hakimi, topped the group after defeating Argentina in a dramatic opening match and securing a win against Iraq in the final game. &lt;strong&gt;Oussama El Azzouzi (Bologna) &lt;/strong&gt;played a key role in Morocco`s midfield duo, but was exceptionally positioned in defence during the 3-0 victory over Iraq.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;f1b63130-af4d-4c3d-9707-a8d0a51882df&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f1b63130-af4d-4c3d-9707-a8d0a51882df&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b3761c0b-4195-41c4-8a3f-5ba6a770c262/Sito_HERO_elaz.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;f1b63130-af4d-4c3d-9707-a8d0a51882df&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f1b63130-af4d-4c3d-9707-a8d0a51882df&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Albiceleste&lt;/strong&gt; recovered from a shaky start and secured a spot in the quarterfinals with a 2-0 win over Ukraine. &lt;strong&gt;Lucas Beltrán &lt;/strong&gt;(Fiorentina) partnered with Julián Álvarez in Argentina’s 4-4-2 formation under coach Mascherano, starting from the bench only in the last match.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;fcb12d7f-c37f-40cf-9c31-887b8865ac0f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;fcb12d7f-c37f-40cf-9c31-887b8865ac0f&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/cc2aeb8f-a86a-4fbc-aeb7-bf1606562004/Sito_HERO_oly.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;fcb12d7f-c37f-40cf-9c31-887b8865ac0f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;fcb12d7f-c37f-40cf-9c31-887b8865ac0f&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Egypt defeated &lt;strong&gt;Spain&lt;/strong&gt; to top &lt;strong&gt;Group C&lt;/strong&gt;, a group largely defined by the battle between these two teams. The Spanish national team featured two players from Serie A: starting left-back &lt;strong&gt;Juan Miranda (Bologna)&lt;/strong&gt; and&lt;strong&gt; Adrián Bernabé (Parma),&lt;/strong&gt; who has been a valuable option off the bench for coach Denia.

The former Cagliari player also provided an assist in the 1-1 draw against the Dominican Republic, but his efforts weren`t enough to prevent Uzbekistan`s elimination from the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;2e54679f-6b75-416e-b0f5-4b924d0af7be&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2e54679f-6b75-416e-b0f5-4b924d0af7be&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/5afe0491-3570-4573-ac5f-9b08becf9cae/Sito_HERO_shomu.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;2e54679f-6b75-416e-b0f5-4b924d0af7be&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2e54679f-6b75-416e-b0f5-4b924d0af7be&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Group D, Japan and Paraguay emerged as the strongest teams, advancing to the next round, while Mali and Israel were eliminated. &lt;strong&gt;Diego Gonzalez (Lazio)&lt;/strong&gt; missed the tournament for Paraguay due to a muscle injury. For Mali, young midfielder &lt;strong&gt;Coli Saco (Napoli)&lt;/strong&gt; showcased his talent, playing 16 minutes against Israel and the full match against Paraguay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The quarterfinals are scheduled for Friday, 2 August. Here is the schedule with the match times:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Morocco vs. United States&lt;/strong&gt;, 15:00 CEST&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Japan vs. Spain&lt;/strong&gt;, 17:00 CEST&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Egypt vs. Paraguay&lt;/strong&gt;, 19:00&amp;nbsp; CEST&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;France vs. Argentina&lt;/strong&gt;, 21:00 CEST&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The semi-finals will be played on Monday, 5 August, while the final is set for Friday, 9 August, at 18:00 CEST.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the Serie A Enilive representatives, winning a medal would highlight the link between the Olympics and our league, which, in the new millennium, has predominantly featured South American players. In Brazil`s last two triumphs, &lt;strong&gt;Felipe Anderson (Lazio)&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Gabriel Barbosa (Inter)&lt;/strong&gt; secured gold in 2016, while in 2020, the honour went to &lt;strong&gt;Douglas Luiz&lt;/strong&gt;, the new signing for Juventus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the past, other Serie A stars have made their mark at the Olympics. &lt;strong&gt;Ezequiel Lavezzi &lt;/strong&gt;(Napoli) won gold with Argentina in 2008, while in 2004, &lt;strong&gt;Nicolás Burdisso&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Kily González&lt;/strong&gt; (Inter), &lt;strong&gt;Fabricio Coloccini &lt;/strong&gt;(AC Milan), and &lt;strong&gt;Mariano González &lt;/strong&gt;(Palermo) also claimed the title with the Albiceleste. Notably, Serie A has also been home to Olympic top scorers. &lt;strong&gt;Giuseppe Rossi&lt;/strong&gt; with 4 goals in 2008, &lt;strong&gt;Iván Zamorano&lt;/strong&gt; with 6 goals in 2000 (Inter), and Hernán &lt;strong&gt;Crespo &lt;/strong&gt;also with 6 goals in 1996, the year he joined Parma.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
