Clearly, it’s a weird evening for Warren Zaire-Emery. Starting in Didier Deschamps’ double pivot for Gibraltar’s reception in Nice for the 9th day of Euro 2024 qualifying, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder became the youngest French international since 1914, but also the third in the history of the French team, behind Félix Vial (17 years and 76 days) and Maurice Gastiger (17 years and 128 days).

At 17 years, 8 months and 10 days, he will also break another record in Blue. Indeed, served by Kingsley Coman, the native of Montreuil becomes this Saturday evening the second youngest scorer in the history of the French team, the first since 1914. Nevertheless, on the action of the goal, the tricolor number 8 had to come out injured due to a dangerous tackle on the action of Yogan Santos’ goal, expelled immediately after observation by the VAR (17th).
