Barcelona's LaLiga Match Against Osasuna Postponed After Death of Club Doctor
The LaLiga match between Barcelona and Osasuna has been suspended after the sudden death of Barcelona's team doctor, Carles Miñarro Garcia.
Saturday's highly anticipated LaLiga match between Barcelona and Osasuna at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium was unexpectedly postponed due to a tragic circumstance. Just minutes before kickoff, Barcelona announced that the game had been called off due to the sudden passing of the club's doctor, Carles Minarro Garcia.
The teams had already revealed their starting lineups, and the players had begun warming up on the pitch. However, the somber news was then announced over the stadium's speakers, informing the crowd of the postponement. The decision was made out of respect for the deceased doctor and to allow the team to process the news.
According to LaLiga officials, a new date for the match will be scheduled in the coming days by the competition committee. The postponement will require some adjustments to the teams' schedules, but the priority is to pay respects to Dr. Carles Minarro Garcia and allow Barcelona to cope with the loss.
