Five years earlier, the Brazilian squad, which has qualified for seven of the last nine Olympic Games, won the gold medal for the first time after defeating Germany on penalties at the Maracana stadium. Brazil have only failed once to win a medal since 1976.

Germany will also be looking at the medals, although they haven’t been able to make a lot of noise in the Olympic tournament over the years. East Germany won the gold in 1976, while the West secured the bronze medal 12 years later in Seoul.
Now current coach Stefan Kuntz, under whom Germany have reached three successive Under-21 Euros, will try to guide the European squad to Olympic glory with a roster with plenty of Bundesliga experience.
Paulinho, Richarlison and Cunha are expected to be in the forward line for Brazil, while Germany will try to counterattack with the trio of Richter, Kruse and Amiri up front.
