The Brazil soccer team will be relying on Everton forward Richarlison if they are to retain their Olympic gold medal when they take on Spain in the final tonight.

Richarlison is currently the top goal scorer of the tournament with 5 goals.

Brazil has the services for former Barcelona and Juventus right back Dani Alves who turned 38 this year.

They are also the first side to play in the Men’s Olympic finals on three straight occasions.

However they will face an uphill battle against a much-fancied Spanish side which has 6 players who recently represented the nation in the EURO 2020.

Spain has also added Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio to that list who scored the winner in the semifinal against Japan.

Brazil takes on Spain at 11.30 tonight.
