Football Coaching students took center stage at the Manchester City v Lyon Champions League game last night. 

As the build up to the game began and the teams made their way out on to the pitch, students who are currently studying Football Coaching at Ashton Sixth Form College proudly held the champions league flag in the middle of the pitch. The game marked the start of the group stages for both Manchester City and Lyon.
