What do UEFA? – ask yourself this question today, millions of fans in Poland. On Wednesday coincided with the meeting of the Appeals Committee because UEFA (UEFA Appeals Body), which at least in theory, may decide on Friday Walkover repealed. What would happen in this situation? With whom would play Legia in the battle for Champions League?
 

The situation would then become extremely complicated. In Friday’s draw in Nyon was chosen the following set of pairs of the fourth round of qualifying for the Champions League (only take into account the so-called. “Master group”, “group niemistrzowska” is in fact another way competitions):
 

NK Maribor (Slovenia) – Celtic Glasgow (Scotland)
 Red Bull Salzburg (Austria) – Malmoe FF (Sweden)
 
 Aab Aalborg (Denmark) – APOEL Nicosia (Cyprus)
 
 Steaua Bucharest (Romania) – Ludogorec Razgrad (Bulgaria)
 Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia) – BATE Borisov (Belarus)
 

The Legion was criminally relegated to the fourth qualifying round of the Europa League, where he has to deal with Kazakh Aktobe. The situation is unprecedented, and UEFA has no specific legislation to address similar situations – simply they are not provided. Complications are many, and the most important is that the exclusion of the Legion and inserting in lieu thereof Celtic led to changes in baskets and distributed teams nierozstawionych.
 

From among these latter fell Ludogorec Razgrad (pictured), because the Bulgarians had the UEFA coefficient lower than Celtic, and higher than the Legion. In this connection it should be assumed that it is the team of Razgrad would be random on-site Celtic and trafiłaby on Slovenian Maribor. Legion team would nierozstawionym, losowanym instead Ludogorca. Who would thus its rival? Opponent Bulgarians, that is well known in Warsaw last year’s competition at the same stage of the competition Steaua Bucharest.
 

Are UEFA would carry out such an analysis, however, if the Legion was restored to the hands and on the fourth round of the Celtic deservedly trafiłby the dustbin of history? Doubtful. The provisions of this organization there is a point of taking over the team coefficient punished by forfeit for the team to forfeit the benefit of this is granted, if the draw is completed.
 

Of course, the above-cited regulation does not apply to situations where the draw is dismissed walkover awarded to him, it can be expected, however, that due to the far-reaching similarity of situation would apply the analogy. Then the most disadvantaged team would be Ludogorec Razgrad, randomly chosen from the lower basket than Legia have from the higher ratio. There would be a real absurdity.
 

Additional loss to an innocent confusion Ludogorca, and in this case also Maribor occurring in LE Aktobe, would be the fact that both teams will have already started generating costs of preparing for the games fourth round (organization of trips, but also sales tickets). What’s more, each of these teams could seek compensation from UEFA’s financial losses and sports. Probably UEFA skazałaby financial loss.
 

As we can see, positive for the Legion, and firmly expected in Poland UEFA’s decision, bear the enormous number of complications. Therefore, regardless of the strength of the arguments present in Nyon Warsaw club owners Darius Mioduski and Boguslaw Leśnodorskiego, you can expect that UEFA will do anything to avoid the hassle of the described type, even at the expense of loss of image, probably wkalkulowanych.
 

After the Legion is not only moral, but also “uefowskie” law because the provisions on reporting unauthorized game players (ie, because of all the confusion), lies a contradiction. – We found a contradiction in Article 18 One provision says that only registered players can take the penalty, and another that lists the players must include the players who have played in the competition – said the president legia.sport.pl Leśnodorski.
 

How will the matter? Well, as a popular advertising, we are dealing with heart discussion with reason. The rest we’ll find out on Wednesday night or Thursday morning, when UEFA will announce the decision of its Board of Appeal.
