Douglas Luiz celebrated Olympic Games success on Saturday afternoon as Brazil beat Spain 2-1 after extra-time to claim the gold medal.
The Aston Villa midfielder completed 120 minutes in the final in Tokyo as the Seleção claimed Olympics glory for the second successive Games having triumphed on home soil in 2016.
Victory marks the perfect end to an action-packed summer for Luiz, who was part of the Brazil squad who suffered Copa Ameríca final defeat last month.
Substitute Malcom proved the matchwinner in the 108th minute, coming after Mikel Oyarzabal’s superb volley for Spain just after the hour mark cancelled out Matheus Cunha's strike in first-half injury time.

Both sides went close before Richarlison sent a penalty over the crossbar in the 38th minute, awarded after goalkeeper Unai Simon upended Cunha in the area.
But Brazil did break the deadlock with almost the last kick of the first period, Cunha outfoxing three Spain defenders to fire home low into the corner from 12 yards after Dani Alves had sent Claudinho’s deep cross back across goal.
Richarlison saw his effort deflect off Simon, hit the crossbar and bounce down just in front of the goal-line in the 54th minute, and it was Spain who levelled in stunning fashion shortly afterwards.
Substitute Carlos Soler broke down the wing and crossed for a sliding Oyarzabal to slam home a fierce left-footed volley from six yards at the far post.
Spain twice went close to winning it in the final five minutes, Oscar Gil seeing his cross rebound off the woodwork before Bryan Gil also rattled the crossbar with a drilled effort from the edge of the box.
Extra-time remained goalless until three minutes into the second period when sub Malcom collected Antony's cross-field pass, burst into the penalty area and fired across Simon into the top corner to seal victory for Brazil.
Huge congratulations, Douglas!
