A beauty of a free kick by Alex Baena of Villarreal in the men's football final. Spain leading France 3-1 at the Parc Des Princes.

Does anyone know what happened to the outstanding Parisian poster on here who shared a name with that venue?

I hope wherever he is that he's proud of the superb job his city has done hosting these games.
