Didier Deschamps' merciless France team-talk has been revealed after his team hit Gibraltar for a record-breaking 14-0 scoreline.
Kylian Mbappe notched his 300th career goal on a night where he netted a hat-trick of goals AND assists against the hapless minnows. Ethan Santos was sent off after scoring an own goal in the third minute, with his side already 3-0 down. France then proceeded to rack up a record-breaking scoreline that trumped their 10-0 win over Azerbaijan.
The 14-0 result also inflicted a worse-ever defeat upon their deflated foes. Even though they were seven goals up at half-time in the Euro 2024 qualifier, Deschamps wanted MORE from the World Cup runners-up, and insisted that they should go out to smash their record. And his men responded with ruthless force. In footage released to the French national team's X account, he said: "Full marks boys for that first half. Let's have more of the same in the second.
"Keep things as simple as possible. Whenever we can, we score. It's 7-0 but there are no limits. I want the same determination from everybody. The record is 10-0 out of interest. You could smash it. Don't hold back boys"
