On Thursday, two army aircraft flanked superstar Robert Lewandowski and his team-mates, who are looking to guide Poland to the knockout stages for the first time since 1986.

The reason for the top-class escort was the death of two Polish citizens on a farm four miles from the Ukrainian border on Tuesday.

An emergency Nato meeting followed the passing of the two farmers.

But Poland’s president Andrzej Duda said on Wednesday that a Ukrainian air defense missile had most likely caused the “unfortunate accident”;.

NATO’s secretary general also hinted that there was no indication of a deliberate attack from Putin’s Russia.

But that didn’t stop the impressive defensive escort to the Polish border on route to the Middle East.

The Twitter account for national team posted: “We were escorted to the southern border of Poland by F16 planes!

“Thank you and greetings to the pilots!”;

The Poles finished comfortably behind England in qualifying but then received a bye in their play-off semi-final, ironically due to Russia being disqualified following the invasion of Ukraine.

That led them with just a home tie against Sweden to make it to the World Cup, and they duly triumphed 2-0 over Zlatan Ibrahimovic and co.

They take on Mexico on Tuesday in their first Group C clash.

Saudi Arabia lie in wait after that on Saturday, November 26.

Then things get really tricky as Czeslaw Michniewicz’s team takes on tournament favourites Argentina.
