Legia Warsaw banner costs £63k in Uefa fine
Legia Warsaw have been fined €80,000 (£63,000) for displaying a giant banner criticising Uefa.
The club revealed that Uefa’s disciplinary panel had cried foul over the protest during last week’s Europa League play-off against Kazakh team Aktobe at a hearing on Thursday.
The stand-sized banner showed a pig standing in front of a Uefa badge with the slogan: “Because football doesn’t matter. Money does.”
