In one match, three records fell. The Blues had never seen so big, sweeping Gibraltar, drowned in a shower of 14 goals. The last orgy dates back to a France – Azerbaijan in Auxerre in 1995 (10-0) under Aimé Jacquet. For its part, the territory bordering Spain had never loaded its suitcase so much, since a 9-0 in Belgium in the summer of 2017.
Above all, Warren Zaire-Emery became the youngest scorer in the history of the Blues, scoring in fifteen minutes as many goals as Randal Kolo Muani in twelve caps, a statistic which tells the state of these two Parisians quite well. One is a phenomenon, the other still in gestation. Unfortunately, the youngest starter in A since 1914 will have to leave immediately. After a few minutes on the bench nursing his right ankle, he limped back to the locker room.
Certain to be seeded
With these three points announced, Didier Deschamps’ men are now certain to be among the top seeds for the Euro in Germany (June 14 – July 14), giving an almost perfect character to this qualifying campaign before the trip to Greece , Tuesday. A revamped formation will give this outing the feel of a friendly match.
At 11 against 11, it was already impossible for Gibraltar and with one player less, it became the heaviest defeat in the history of the Rock of the Iberian Peninsula. Around their coach, they will stay for long minutes during the break on the pitch, talking to each other, comforting each other, debriefing. What can we say to each other in these moments? To avoid a form of ridicule, no doubt.
The evening’s send-off, Ethan Santos, had a considerable impact on the course of the match, scoring the first goal and injuring Warren Zaire-Emery in a rather scandalous manner on his goal, the 3rd (16th). Outside of football, this fan probably runs a butcher’s shop. He put the PSG nugget on the side for his first selection and perhaps more while Paris must host Monaco this Friday in the league then Newcastle in the Champions League.
Royal hat-trick and 300th goal for Mbappé
The Gibraltarians, it is not their fault, are so overwhelmed by the pace of an international match that they cannot avoid blunders and in this case culpable imprudence.
FIFA cannot be satisfied with promoting the game in this way even if we doubt that this sentence will make it tremble, disconnected from the real world that it is. At the third goal, this France – Gibraltar therefore fell into the irrationality of a game devoid of meaning, if it ever initially had one, with a slew of goals with different faces.
Captain Kylian Mbappé offering himself a royal hat-trick, with a third achievement from around forty meters to go down in French legend for the 300th of his career. Basically, only Mike Maignan was sure not to score. The Blues have learned nothing new about themselves. They just leave Nice with one less new international.
