Everyone backed France to comfortably win against Gibraltar with the amount of talent in their squad. The predictions were a little off in a sense. It was not only a comfortable win, but a demolition of the opposition. The French team got three goals in the first 16 minutes. But, the real destruction started after Gibraltar player Ethan Santos received a red card after only 18 minutes. It was a one-way domination from there on for the former World Cup champions.

France scored seven goals in the first and another seven in the second half. Unsurprisingly, their star forward Kylian Mbappe scored a hattrick. Ousmane Dembele and Oliver Giroud also scored a brace. The team also had 39 shots with 20 shots on target in the whole game. In the post-match interview, Mbappe was asked the question about the goal scorers in the match, “There were 9 goalscorers right?”. The PSG forward gave a reply with a slight dig at the rivals,“10. Ten with the Gibraltar player.”

This shows the high amount of confidence the whole France team had in themselves to win the match with a big scoreline, despite the feud rumors about them, especially Kylian Mbappe. The PSG star will now shift his focus on doing well in the second half of the season with the club before the Euro tournament.

He has taken the responsibility of leading a relatively new attack after the departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar. He has scored  15 goals in 15 games this season for the club in all competitions. However, he will look to improve the record after criticism of his overall game by manager Luis Enrique.
