A UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying match Saturday saw a historic moment as a relentless French team hammered 10-man Gibraltar 14-0 to record their biggest victory ever and break Germany’s record against San Marino, according to Anadolu Agency.
Superstar Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick at Nice's Allianz Riviera, and eight other Les Bleus players - including 17-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery who scored in his France debut - were on the score sheet.
After Gibraltar defender Ethan Santos scored an own goal in the third minute, France sought to destroy their weak opponents. Santos was shown a red card in the 18th minute after France had a 3-0 lead.
Marcus Thuram and Zaire-Emery scored before Gibraltar were down to 10 men on the pitch.
Jonathan Clauss, Kingsley Coman, Youssouf Fofana, Adrien Rabiot, Ousmane Dembele and Olivier Giroud also found the net as Didier Deschamps' men took an incredible win in a Group B match.
The demolition job meant that already-qualified France replaced Germany in the record books. Germany had a 13-0 win against San Marino in 2006 ahead of the EURO 2008.
