Former head coach of the Polish national team Jerzy Engel commented on the defeat of the local Legia against Spartak Moscow in the final match of the group stage of the Europa League (LE). His words are quoted by Polsat Sport.
The specialist considered that the “red-whites” did not show a good game, which is why the Poles had to beat them with ease. “Legia lost to a very weak team. It is sad to see that our best club in Europe is losing at home to a mediocre team like Spartak, ”Engel said.
Spartak beat Legia 1: 0 away. The only goal in the 17th minute was scored by the midfielder of the “red-whites” Zelimkhan Bakaev. On the sixth minute added to the second half, a penalty was awarded to Spartak, which the Poles could not convert.
Spartak took first place in Group C, going directly to the 1/8 finals of the Europa League. Legia, which closed the standings, was left without European cups.
