France will take on Greece in their last Euro qualifier on Tuesday on the back of their biggest-ever win in history. Les Bleus pulverized Gibraltar 14-0 on Saturday to maintain their perfect record in the 2024 Euro qualifying phase.
Greece overcame New Zealand 2-0 in their latest outing, an international friendly played in front of a relatively small crowd that was just over 5500 people. Giannis Konstantelias and Giorgos Giakoumakis scored the only goals of the game for the Pirate Ship.
They return to more serious business on Tuesday with their final group game of the Euro qualifiers against France. The Netherlands have ensured a second-place finish in the group behind the French after beating the Republic of Ireland 1-0 over the weekend.
The Dutch have 15 points from seven matches, which is three more than the Greeks at this stage. They have also beaten Greece twice and will finish above them due to their better head-to-head record.
But Greece will be one of the 12 teams that will be competing in the playoffs to make it to the 2024 Euros.
France, meanwhile, are looking as imperious and intimidating as they have in recent times. Deschamps' men have won all of their seven Euro qualifiers with a combined scoreline of 27-1. Their 14-0 annihilation of Gibraltar saw nine different Frenchmen get on the scoresheet.
Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick while Kingsley Coman and Olivier Giroud bagged braces. Zaire-Emery scored his first-ever goal in international football as Jonathan Clauss, Youssouf Fofana, Ousmane Dembele, Marcus Thuram and Adrien Rabiot also found the back of the net.
