Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick in France’s record-breaking 14-0 thrashing of 10-man Gibraltar as the Netherlands, Switzerland and Romania booked their places at Euro 2024 on Saturday. Les Bleus set a new record margin of victory in European qualifying and a national record in Nice. Ethan Santos’s own goal and Marcus Thuram had already opened the floodgates before 17-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery scored. That was Zaire-Emery’s last contribution as the PSG midfielder was forced off with an ankle injury, but a red card for Santos after just 18 minutes allowed the World Cup finalists to run amok.
