Barcelona's Saturday night match in La Liga vs. Osasuna was officially suspended and postponed for a later date.
Minutes before the scheduled start of the game, Barcelona released a statement announcing first-team doctor, Carles Miñarro Garcia, passed away on the eve of kick-off. Because of this, a decision was taken not to play the matchweek 27 game and postpone it for a yet to be determined date.
"FC Barcelona is deeply saddened to announce the passing of first-team doctor, Carles Miñarro Garcia this evening. For this reason, the match between FC Barcelona and CA Osasuna has been postponed to a later date. The FC Barcelona Board of Directors and entire staff extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time," the full statement said.
Miñarro Garcia joined Barça's first-team medical staff this season after serving as the doctor for the Catalan's Futsal team, where he'd been working since 2017.
