Pogrom, declassification – these words do not reflect what the French national team did at home once morest Gibraltar in the first half of the European Championship qualifying match. Interestingly, the hosts scored the first goal following an own goal by their opponents, and following just four minutes they were leading 2-0. Then the real carnage began.

France has a new hero. He is a 17-year-old PSG player
Exactly in the 16th minute, Warren Zaire-Emery scored the third goal for the French following Kingsley Coman’s assist. There would be nothing strange regarding it, if it weren’t for the fact that it was his first match in national colors, and he defeated the opponent’s goalkeeper only at the age of 17 years, 8 months and 10 days. Thus, Zaire-Emery became the youngest debutant in the history of the post-war French national team. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder broke the record held by Eduardo Camavinga, who took the field for the first time in a national team match at the age of exactly 17 years, 9 months and 29 days.
When it comes to French national team goalscorers in their history who scored in their teens, Warren Zaire-Emery is the youngest in… over a hundred years. In this case, the PSG player also broke Camavinga’s record, and only Maurice Gastiger, who beat the Swiss goalkeeper in 1914 at the age of 17 years and 5 months, beat him.
Warren Zaire-Emery is a graduate of Paris Saint-Germain. Taking into account all competitions, he has already played 15 matches this season, in which he scored two goals and provided as many as five assists. The current market value of the 17-year-old is around EUR 50 million.
France broke its own record. In addition, they are the best in history in the European Championship qualifiers
However, the French national team broke their own record in the match once morest Gibraltar. Previously, the Tricolors’ highest victory took place in 1995, when they won once morest Azerbaijan 10-0. Now the French defeated Gibraltar 14-0, and the scorers were: Ethan Santos (own goal), Marcus Thuram, Warren Zaire-Emery, Kylian Mbappe (hat-trick), Jonathan Clauss, Kingsley Coman (2 goals), Youssouf Fofana, Adrien Rabiot, Ousmane Dembele, Olivier Giroud (two goals).
Thus, the French became the team that achieved the highest victory in the history of the European Championship qualifiers. Previously, this title belonged to the Germans. Our western neighbors defeated San Marino 13-0 in 2006, but the record was broken 17 years later.
