Following the dramatic death of Barça's doctor, Dr. Carles Minarro, the meeting between FC Barcelona and Osasuna was canceled at the last moment. A death that had moved the whole locker room of Barça, as well as the Pampelune and La Liga club, which agreed to postpone the meeting a few hours before kick -off. Finally, the match should be played on March 27, next Thursday, when the international break will be barely over. A match that will therefore be without Raphinha, nor Ronald Araujo, who will be with their selection. And inevitably, that does not do the business of the Catalans, who can be alone at the top of the championship in the event of a null or victory against the Pamplona club.
After SportFC Barcelona is indignant to have to play on this precise date. The anger of the Catalan club is such that Joan Laporta is determined to appeal the decision. Barça sources told Catalan media that they were very unhappy and that they considered reprogramming as unfair and “shameful” for lack of sports equity. Laliga clubs were pressure so that the match was not moved to the end of May. La Liga therefore plans that Barça is playing three games in six days: Thursday March 27 against Osasuna, Sunday 30 against Girona and Wednesday April 2 against Atlético in the King's Cup.
