On Saturday, the French team had no worries about playing at home against Gibraltar, even though they have already qualified forEuro 2024. All they had to do was win to be seeded in Group B, which includes the Netherlands, Greece, Ireland and Gibraltar. It was the latter country that the French were facing, not exactly renowned as a soccer nation. And the trend was quickly confirmed, with two goals in the first four minutes, including an own goal from Gibraltar's Santos.
An impressive match, in which Les Bleus scored in large numbers, with the final score 14-0. Zaïre-Emery, a very young player from Paris-Saint-Germain, took advantage of his first start for the national team to score the third goal, in the sixteenth minute. The only blemish on the evening came when he injured his ankle on the way to his goal, after being violently tackled by an opponent. But the goals didn't stop there, with a hat-trick from Mbappé, one from Clauss, a brace from Coman, one from Fofana, one from Rabiot, one from Dembélé and a brace from Giroud, who was celebrating his daughter's birthday.
A very large victory, which did not fail to amuse Internet users on social networks, and which above all surpasses a record dating back to 1995, when Les Bleus inflicted 10 goals on Azerbaijan. As a result, France have a very large goal difference in their group, ahead of their final match against Greece on November 21, 2023. Gibraltar, who played with one player missing after being shown the red card, had only lost 3-0 in the first leg.
