Danish minnows FC Midtjylland are planning an audacious assault on the Champions League - in 2030 – by building a school for children from the age of five where they will be taught to become the best players in Europe.
The club made its debut in the elite European competition this season, finishing bottom of Group D after achieving creditable draws at home to Liverpool and away to Atalanta.
However, Midtjylland, well known for its innovative and analytical approach to football, has created a school, called Guldminem, or Goldmine, similar in organisation to Barcelona’s famed, La Masia, and it has the same lofty ambitions.
