The Polish club could find themselves in even bigger trouble after this.

Legia Warsaw are currently in Europa League action against Kazakh side FC Aktobe, and have unfurled this banner in protest at FIFA for throwing them out of the Champions League.

Legia fielded an ineligible player at the end of their second qualifying round clash with Celtic and, despite the fact that they won the tie 6-1 on aggregate, were demoted to the Europa League as a result.

This banner, which reads: 'Because football doesn't matter. Money does.' has already gone viral this evening.
