The match between Barcelona and Osasuna, scheduled for this Saturday at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, was suspended following the passing of the Blaugrana team doctor, Carles Miñarro, as confirmed by the Catalan club.

About 30 minutes prior to kickoff, rumors that the game would be postponed began to circulate, and the announcement was made soon after. The unexpected news reportedly had a profound impact on the dressing room, and the players would have been unable to play.

After hearing the news, the Barcelona players themselves asked that the game be suspended. According to La Liga rules, the game can be postponed because of a force majeure situation. T

he suspension was confirmed by the league and Osasuna, and the Spanish football authorities will now have to decide on a new date for the match.

Barca President Laporta said: “Carles leaves behind two children, Gerard and Elana, and his wife, who, as you can imagine, was very affected, which is normal and logical in these circumstances. We stand with them all, with his wife, his children, and his mother.”

“He was a man loved by everyone, and he passed away this evening during the team camp. As you can imagine, the players, the staff, the manager, they were all very sad. There was a lot of sadness, because he was a very loved person. We all loved him.”

“We felt that postponing the match was the right decision, and we thank everyone who played a role in making this decision for their understanding, as we believe we made the right decision in the circumstances. Thank you very much.”
