Possible date for rescheduled Barcelona vs Osasuna match revealed
What was supposed to be a celebration of football was overshadowed by tragedy. The Barcelona vs Osasuna match was postponed just minutes before kickoff due to the sudden death of Barcelona's club doctor Carlos Manarro Garcia. Now, there's news on when the match might be rescheduled.
Details: According to Relevo, La Liga has given the clubs five days to agree on a new date for the match. Predicting the agreement between the clubs is challenging due to Barcelona's participation in three tournaments simultaneously.
The match could not be moved to today, Sunday, March 9, due to the return leg against Benfica in the Champions League, as there must be a 48-hour pause between matches. One option on the table is to hold the match immediately after the March international break, but it's uncertain if Barcelona will agree to this.
Currently, the most likely dates are March 27 and the period between May 19 and 25. The latter coincides with the gap between the last two rounds of La Liga, but Barcelona faces scheduling overload amidst the championship race.
Reminder: The request to postpone the match with Osasuna came from the Barcelona players themselve , immediately after they received the sad news of Manarro Garcia's passing.
