Polish clubs shine in Europe
In the 2024/2025 season, they represent Poland in European cups Jagiellonia BiałystokŚląsk Wrocław, Legia Warszawa and Wisła Kraków. Śląsk and Wisła finished the competition in the qualifying rounds, while Jagiellonia and Legia got to the league phase of the Conference League. Both teams are fighting not only for victories and advancement to the knockout phase, but also for Poland’s position in the UEFA national ranking. On Thursday they showed great class again, winning their matches.
The Polish champions lived up to expectations and defeated Moldovan Petrocub 2-0 in front of their home crowd after a double by Afimico Pululu. The Military team also played very well, beating Serbian TSC 3-0 away. The goals were scored by Bartosz Kapustka, Luquinhas and Kacper Chodyna.
After Thursday’s matches, Jagiellonia and Legia added a full point to Poland’s achievements. The loss to the next ranking places is getting smaller. There is a chance that Poland will advance at least one position this season, especially if at least one club qualifies for the knockout phase.

Poland’s Clubs Making European Waves! 🎉
Ah, Polish football! A spectacle that encompasses both skill and drama—much like a Saturday night dinner at my mum’s. You think you know what’s coming, but then… surprise! Anyway, let’s dive into the exciting world of Polish clubs shining like diamonds in Europe for the 2024/2025 season. You know, like finding a five-star Michelin meal at a roadside kafana.
Representing the proud nation of Poland are Jagiellonia Białystok, Śląsk Wrocław, Legia Warszawa, and Wisła Kraków. They’re not just going to make up the numbers—oh no! Jagiellonia and Legia have advanced to the league phase of the Conference League. It’s a bit like being picked for the school play, but actually getting a decent role rather than just holding the curtain. Unfortunately, Śląsk and Wisła—bless them—only made it as far as the qualifying rounds, a bit like hitting that ‘skip’ button on Netflix before the opening credits. Can you blame them?
Rockets and Goals!
So, let’s talk about the matches last Thursday. Oh, what a glorious day to be a Polish football fan! Our champions, Jagiellonia, showed the Moldovan side Petrocub who’s boss by winning 2-0—thanks to a double from the sensational Afimico Pululu. I mean, it’s a name that sounds like a rare tropical fruit, but boy, can he score! It’s hard to tell whether the Moldovans were playing football or trying to outrun a Sapa bus; the scoreboard told the story!
Meanwhile, Legia Warszawa also flexed their muscles with an impressive 3-0 victory over Serbian TSC. Bartosz Kapustka, Luquinhas, and Kacper Chodyna—what a trio! I’m half convinced their names are secret spells from a Harry Potter book. “Kapustka! Incendio!” Boom, a goal! If they keep this up, I’m heading to Warsaw next holiday season to soak up the atmosphere… and maybe booing Poles’ imitation of British weather.
The Quest for UEFA Glory
After last Thursday’s matches, Jagiellonia and Legia managed to give Poland a gold star on its homework. With each victory, the chance of Poland hoisting its UEFA ranking above 18th place grows ever so faintly, like a whisper in a busy pub. It’s not exactly ‘The Polish Dream,’ but it’s a consolation prize for now. Poland currently teeters on the precipice of advancement, and there’s a flicker that at least one of these clubs could sail into the knockout phase. Just remember, folks, these teams aren’t alone—they’ve got all of Poland cheering behind them, like a massive, well-meaning pregnant woman at a cooking contest, trying to help them out by announcing the next ingredient!
