Legia Warsaw fans mock UEFA in tifo protesting Champions League ouster

Legia Warsaw beat Celtic, 6-1, in their UEFA Champions league qualifier. Only an administrative error led to the Polish side using an ineligible player as an 86th minute sub in the second leg so UEFA ruled the match a forfeit, which means a 3-0 win for Celtic. That brought the tie level on aggregate, and put Celtic through on away goals.

As one might imagine, Legia were not happy about the decision. They felt cheated and that UEFA ruled in favor of the Scottish team that would presumably bring in more money. So in today’s Europa League match, their fans made their thoughts known.

The good news for Legia is that Celtic lost in their Champions League playoff so they didn’t even make the group stage. And Legia took great joy in that.

Now if only the gods could align and put Legia and Celtic in the same Europa League group.
