Just moments before kickoff, Barcelona’s La Liga clash against Osasuna was dramatically called off, as the club confirmed the postponement due to a heartbreaking loss within the team’s inner circle.
Reports indicate that first-team doctor Carles Minarro Garcia has tragically passed away, prompting Barcelona players to request the postponement out of respect and grief. The club made the official announcement just 15 minutes before the scheduled start, leaving fans and players alike in shock.
Barcelona, currently locked in an intense title race, had been set to defend their narrow one-point lead over Atletico Madrid, with Real Madrid lurking just two points behind. The sudden turn of events, however, shifts the focus away from football and toward mourning the loss of a key figure who was reportedly very close to the dressing room.
With emotions running high, it remains unclear whether this will have any impact on Barcelona’s Champions League campaign. They hold a 1-0 advantage over Benfica in the Round of 16, but in moments like these, football takes a back seat to matters far more significant.
For now, the Catalan giants will unite in remembrance as they come to terms with this devastating loss.
