Polish fans’ violence somewhat overshadows Leicester’s Europa League win

Polish football is notorious for their hooligans and aggressive crowds. Legia, Wisla, Lech and others – all these clubs have pretty hardcore fanbases and whenever their clubs play away in European competitions – there is quite a group following their beloved club. Regardless of where the match is taking place.And Legia, coming from the capital of Warsaw, are going through one of the worst periods of form in recent history. The club recorded five losses in five matches as part of their Ekstraklasa domestic league and tempers are boiling.Last night, it was Leicester and their King Power stadium ‘on the menu’ and the Polish used the trip to England to let off some steam.Sun, 17.00: (1.65) LEICESTER (4.00) WATFORD (5.80)Midway through the second half of Leicester City’s 3-1 win, supporters housed in the away end attempted to reach Leicester supporters by storming through the lines of security that separated them.Dozens of police dressed in riot gear managed to push the Legia fans back after a battle between the forces and the supporters that lasted about 10 minutes.The travelling fans filled the night air with smoke after setting off numerous red flares before the trouble started.Some of them clambered over the blockages in an attempt to reach the police and there were reports of missiles also being thrown.Legia Warsaw Fans At Leicester👀🔥 #lcfc #leicestercity #UEL #EuropaLeague pic.twitter.com/Kd1flFcqFx— Jack_Lcfc_9 (@JackLcfc9) November 25, 2021 Leicester was already in focus as far as fan-related incidents go earlier this season. In September, the Foxes were fined 22,500 USD after incidents between rival fans during their 2-2 draw with Napoli.On the pitch, Leicester recorded their first win in five matches as first-half goals from Zambian Patson Daka, James Maddison and Nigeria’s Wilfred Ndidi put them top of the group.A draw at Napoli next month will be enough to seal a place in the knockout stages, while staying in first place will result in a bye to the last 16.Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli were beaten for the second time by Russian side Spartak Moscow earlier in the week.🚨⚽️ | NEW: Police in riot gear now in the ground due to problems with Legia Warsaw fanspic.twitter.com/Yep049dHqh— Football For All (@FootballlForAll) November 25, 2021
