Devastated French Olympian Michael Olise has copped backlash for immediately removing his silver medal during the podium celebration following the football final. France were beaten 5-3 in extra-time by Spain in one of the great Olympic finals. Olise, who at 22 is one of the rising stars in the sport, stuffed the silver medal in his jacket pocket while on the podium. It made for an awkward photo with Olise the only player without a medal around his neck.

Olise previously played for Crystal Palace in the English Premier League before joining the European powerhouse for a reported transfer fee of €60m .
