Legia Warsaw ultras unveil ‘surprise motherf*****s!’ banner and let off fireworks at Europa Confence League tie despite UEFA ban after fan trouble

The ultras of Legia Warsaw defied a UEFA ban on Thursday evening during the Europa Conference League match against Molde.

The ultras section was closed for the knockout round of the play-off second leg after problems with fans before the draw against AZ Alkmaar.

Only children up to the age of 14 were allowed in the home Before kick-off, the banner ‘this time you won UEFA’ was placed behind rows of empty seats.

But it turned out to be a false flag as the ultras had simply moved to another part of the stadium for the match.

And they unfolded a “surprise mom f*****s!” banner and set off fireworks as the teams lined up at the Wojska Polskiego Stadium.

On the pitch, Legia were defeated 3-0 that evening as Molde secured a 6-2 win on aggregate.

The Polish club now faces further punishment from UEFA.

Legia Fans have been banned from attending their club’s next five European away games following the violent scenes that marred last month’s Europa Conference League match with Aston Villa.

The Polish club was also fined £100,000 (£86,000) and ordered to pay for damages to Villa Park during the incidents that took place before and during the match on November 30.

Police have charged 46 men after Legia Warsaw fans clashed with police, throwing rockets and flares at officers as supporters were held in a bus park near the ground before entering the stadium.

West Midlands Police said four officers were injured and although the match started on time, no Legia fans were allowed in before kick-off.

In addition to the violent clashes, Villa stewards also removed several people believed to be away supporters from the home stands, while footage on social media appeared to show objects being thrown into the stadium from outside.

Villa filed an official complaint with UEFA about the behavior of the Legia supporters after the 2-1 win.

Legia Warsaw was fined 50,000 euros (£42,000) in 2017 for a fan banner criticizing UEFA.

The club was also ordered to close the stadium’s north stand, where its signature pre-match displays are created by fans.

UEFA intervened in response to Legia fans displaying a giant banner with a UEFA badge featuring a pig and the slogan ‘And the 35,000 fine goes to…’ during a Europa League match.

That related to UEFA’s fine for displaying a political banner commemorating the 1944 Warsaw Uprising before a Champions League qualifying match.

Legia also hosted Real Madrid in an empty stadium after fan violence.
