LEGIA WARSAW ARE back in the group stages of the Champions League since 1996 but an intense atmosphere at the Stadion Wojska Polskiego was quickly extinguished by a hungry and ruthless Borussia Dortmund side this evening.
Mario Gotze grabbed an opener after just 7 minutes before Sokratis Papastathopoulos headed home the German side’s second eight minutes later.
And moments later, Marc Bartra added a third in the 17th minute to leave Legia requiring a miracle to force a way back into the game.
But Dortmund were in no mood to relax.
Shortly after the restart, Raphael Guerreiro scored a fourth while substitute Gonzalo Castro and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put further gloss to the scoreline and make it a whopping 6-0 at full-time.
The home fans had put on a show before the game started, unveiling a magnificent tifo to herald the return of elite European football to Poland.
