The magic of the cup as Leicester City greet Legia Warszawa visitors in Europa League tie

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Ekstraklasa game only four days ago. That game, against Gornik Zabrze, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Legia Warszawa.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
