Ugly scenes.

For the first time in 20 years, the Champions League group stages have been graced by a Polish side and while Legia Warsaw fans showed their best attributes before kick-off, things turned sour very quickly.

Dundalk’s conquerors have been absolutely hammered intheir opening game, Dortmund running out 6-0 winners, but the mood was optimistic before the match as Legia fans created this class tifo to greet their side.

Things turned ugly though as fans and stewards clashed in the stands.

With the German side 3-0 up, you can clearly see a Legia ultra spraying a steward in the face, presumably after he wrestled the can away from him.

Take a look as the stewards do their best to contain the situation.
