France makes history: Smashes Gibraltar 14-0 with an unreal Kylian Mbappe

A Mbappe hat-trick served for France's historic victory; Zaire Emery becomes the youngest scorer in his country's history

The France National Football Team keeps on proving they have one of the most prolific generations in international soccer history. On Saturday evening, they played the Gibraltar National Team in an Euro 2024 qualifier. Initially, there were hopes that France would still win this game but not in the explosive manner that they did. Perhaps the key to this end result was what happened in the first 20 minutes of the game and the role that defender Ethan James Santos played in this game.

Olympique Marseille right back Jonathan Klauss became an absolute headache for the Gibraltar defender in the first two minutes of the game. A clinical cross from the right forced Santos to score an own goal and give France the early lead. Two minutes before the 20th minute, Santos lost his mind and got a red card when France was already 3-0. Just a minute after the first goal, Marcus Thuram tapped the ball in the back of the net after the keeper rejected an attempt from Griezmann. Then came the first historic moment as 17-year-ol Warren Zare-Emery became the youngest scorer in France's history. He scored after Coman assisted him from the right flank. In the same play of Zaire's goel, Santos did a nasty tackle on the kid that was reviewed by VAR and got him kicked out of the game.

About half an hour into the game, a handball gave Kylian Mbappe the chance to get in that scoreboard and he didn't disappoint from the spot. VAR helped the ref double check that handball inside Gibraltar's box in order to call that penalty kick. From that moment forward, the PSG star took over and delivered one of the most dominant performances
