The incidents occurred during the 5-1 defeat at Real Madrid on Oct. 18.

European soccer's ruling body UEFA added that the Polish team's fans were also provisionally banned for two more away matches in European competition, deferring that additional sanction for a probationary period of one year.

Legia supporters were involved in clashes with police outside the Bernabeu stadium last month and the reverse fixture on Nov. 2 was played behind closed doors because of previous crowd disturbances.
