Legia Warsaw went undefeated in last year's Champions League, beating their opponents Celtic 6-1 in the qualifiers before being eliminated on account of the three minutes ineligible player Bartosz Bereszynski spent on the pitch at the end of the second leg.
Despite protests and concerted pleading for 'common sense' to prevail, the rules stood and Warsaw were dumped out of the tournament allowing Celtic to go on to become the first team to lose twice in the Champions League qualifying stages - at least since the group stages accommodated more than eight sides.
Warsaw are in the hunt for the Europa League this year and tonight faced Romanian outfit Botoșani.
Their opponents tried all manner of psychological warfare in a bid to unsettle their opponents. They decided to kit their ballboys out in a highly offensive item - to the Polish side at least.
Warsaw must have shaken off the psychological trauma, because they proceeded to win 3-0. They have progressed to the next round.
