The La Liga match between Barcelona and Osasuna was supposed to take place on Saturday at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium.
However, just before kickoff, Barcelona announced that the game had been postponed.
Why was Barcelona vs Osasuna postponed?
The reason for the postponement was the sudden passing of Barcelona’s team doctor, Carles Miñarro García. The club was deeply saddened by his loss and decided to postpone the match as a sign of respect.
The Barcelona dressing room is said to be deeply affected by the sudden news, and there was simply no way they could play tonight.
In a statement, Barcelona expressed their condolences to the doctor’s family and friends. The match will be rescheduled for a later date, which will be announced soon.
Meanwhile, the LaLiga matches that did go ahead today provided thrilling action as Celta Vigo and Valencia both won at home against tricky opposition.
