14-0, a hell of a record for the Blues!

It’s a 28-year-old record that fell this Saturday at the Allianz Riviera in Nice. Against Gibraltar, the France team won 14-0 in a match counting for Euro 2024 qualifying. With four more achievements in its favor, therefore, than the reference mark established in September 1995 in the framework of the Euro 1996 qualifiers.

That day against Azerbaijan, Zidane and others won 10-0 at Abbé-Deschamps in Auxerre. The Blues have never done better since then. Led by a Mbappé captain and credited with a hat-trick (30^e on penalty, 75^e and 82^e), the French pushed their limits thanks to the contributions of the Thurams (4^e), Zaire-Emery (16^e) – for his first cape worn with the A – Clauss (34^e), Coman (36^e and 66^e), Fofana (37^e), Rabiot (64^e), Dembélé (73^e) and Giroud (89^e90^e+1).

Concern for Zaire-Emery

The only downside for Didier Deschamps was the injury-related exit of young Zaire-Emery, who was cut down during the action of his goal and hit in the ankle. Immediately leaving for the hospital to undergo examinations, the PSG nugget will certainly not be traveling to Greece in three days. A new gala match in perspective for the Blues, who sit in their group before this final eliminatory outing with a six-point lead over the Netherlands who defeated Ireland at the same time (1-0). All with top seed status assured for the Euro 2024 draw!
