 France thrashed 10-man Gibraltar 14-0, scoring seven goals in each half to register their biggest-ever victory in Euro 2024 qualification

Germany, the hosts, had already qualified for the competition, but they faced challenges when Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick, which included a 40-yard effort.

In the first half, there were seven different scores, including Warren Zaire-Emery, a teenager.

He became the youngest player from France since 1914, at the age of seventeen years, eight months, and eleven days.

He upped the score 3-0 with his first goal before getting hurt.

After only three minutes, Ethan Santos headed a cross from Jonathan Closs into his own goal, and Marcus Thuram doubled the score a minute later.

Zaire-Emery scored after this, and in the eighteenth minute, Santos was unlucky to get a red card.

From the penalty spot, Mbappé made it 4-0 before goals from Kloss, Kingsley Coman, and Youssef Fofana made it 7-0 at halftime.

It took until the 63rd minute for Adrien Rabiot to score France's ninth goal, suggesting that they were letting up on their game.

The goals soon resumed, with goals from Koeman and Ousmane Dembele, followed by two more from Mbappe, one a spectacular 40-yard finish after the striker beat goalkeeper Dele Koling off his line.

Just before the final whistle, Oliver Giroud contributed to the win by helping to clinch two goals in a row.

Gibraltar had zero shots on goal at the conclusion of the match, compared to 39 for France.
