Have you ever walked out onto a pitch in front of 60,000 people? Well, Year 9 student Lewis Watson did earlier this week when he carried the flag onto the pitch at the Etihad stadium.
Lewis’ grandad won tickets to the Champion’s League semi-final match between Manchester City and Real Madrid through his job at Nissan. As part of the prize, Lewis was given the opportunity to be a flag bearer at the match which involved carrying the flag out onto the pitch before the match.
Not only did Lewis get the once in a lifetime opportunity of being on the pitch in front of a sold-out match with 60,000 people watching, he also got to take home a bag full of goodies including a jacket (shown in the picture), trousers, a hat and more.
What a brilliant experience!
