The gates of the City Football Academy were thrown open to fans on Sunday for a special day of activities.

The rainy weather didn’t put Blues supporters off as they arrived in their droves.

It was a fascinating insight into how the manager prepares his players for top-level football.

And you can watch highlights of the session via the video above!
