14-0! It was against Gibraltar, but it is still the biggest win ever for the French team and for any team that qualifies for the European Championship. Mbappe made one hat trick and Giroud and Coman scored twice, in a defeat that even started with an own goal in the 3rd minute. Bad luck for Ethan Santos (who would later be sent off and not finish the match).

Goals from Thuram and Warren Zaire-Emery followed. The PSG midfielder made his debut for the French national team, becoming the second youngest in history to wear the PSG shirt. lesson blue, with only 17 years and eight months, second only to Félix Vial, who did so in 1911 with 17 years and two months. Zaire-Emery also became the youngest to score a goal for France. The only reason his debut wasn’t perfect was because he got into a big tackle during that same game and ended up getting injured.

Jonathan Clauss, Fofana, Rabiot and Dembelé scored the other goals. With this triumph, France continues a perfect qualifying phase and achieved its seventh victory in as many matches.

In the other match in Group B, the Netherlands defeated Rep. Ireland with the smallest margin (1-0) and thus secured qualification. A solitary goal from Weghorst, in the 12th minute, sealed the goal. The 1988 European champions will be present for the eleventh time at the final phase of a European championship.

Group D remains close

In Group D, Croatia defeated Latvia (2-0) and took advantage of Wales’ misstep to stay three points clear of Euro 2024, which takes place in Germany from June 14 to July 14, 2024. Lovro Majer and Andrej Kramaric scored the goals in the Croatian victory. With this result, all Croatia needs to do is win or simply get a better result than Wales in the next and final round.

After Turkey had already secured their place at the European Championship, Armenia and Wales drew (1-1) and continued their search for a place. The Armenian Lucas Zelarayan opened the scoring after five minutes and the equalizer only came on the verge of half-time, with an own goal by Tiknizyan.

In Group I, Romania and Switzerland also qualified, joining the Netherlands, Portugal, Albania, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Scotland, Slovakia, Spain, France, Hungary, England, Turkey and hosts Germany. Romania defeated Israel (2-1), while the Swiss drew against Kosovo (1-1).
