The Warsaw "Legia" complained to UEFA due to a banner that was displayed in the stands of the stadium in Nicosia during the match against the local "Omonia" (3:0) in the 5th round of the main stage of the Conference League.
Before the start of this match, the fans of the Cypriot club displayed a cloth with the inscription: "17.01.1945. The Red Army liberated Warsaw".
The expected and natural reaction from "Legia" was not long in coming.
"The scandalous image of the fans of 'Omonia Nicosia' during yesterday's match was intended to distort the truth. On behalf of the club and the people who gave their lives in the fight for the freedom of Warsaw and Poland, we immediately contacted UEFA demanding a decisive response," the Polish club's statement reads.
