France was already certain of winning the group and therefore played a non-quotas match against Gibraltar.
But this does not mean that the French will not comply. National team coach Deschamps put his strongest team on the field and it became clear from the start that it was going to be a long evening for Gibraltar.
In the first six minutes, the visitors managed to beat their goalkeeper twice.
New signing Zaire Emery added one not long after. He was also violently kicked by Santos when he scored, for which he immediately received a red card. At 17 years, 8 months and 10 days, Zaire Emery became the youngest player to make his debut for France since 1914. He also became the youngest ever goalscorer.
Against 10 men it became easier for the French. Goal after goal was scored, and the national record (10-0) was broken without any problems. In the end, there was room for a few global goals.
Kylian Mbappe scored from approximately 30 meters away, and Olivier Giroud finished the goal with a scissor kick. 14-0 After a fair goal, fans celebrated in Nice. It is also the biggest victory ever in a European Championship qualifying match.
