Real Madrid still wary of the presence of Legia Waraw ultras

Real Madrid will face Legia Warsaw on Matchday 4 of the 2016-17 Champions League, and will do so in front of an empty stadium in Poland.

Clashes between Legia supporters and security forces during the club’s opening group stage game against Borussia Dortmund back in September led to the next outing being played behind closed doors – with an appeal thrown out by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

That means only a select group of privileged souls will be inside the ground in midweek, with around 600 players, invited guests from UEFA and the two federations involved, plus the global media set to make it through the gates.
