Legia finished third in Group F after its only win in the 2016-17 season of the UEFA Champions League.
That earned the Warsaw side a place in the knockout phase of UEFA’s Europa League tournament, which kicks off on 16 February.
The top two Group F teams, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, move on to the knockout round of the Champion’s League tournament. (vb/pk)
