FC Barcelona announced with sadness the passing of the first team doctor, Carles Miñarro García, which led to the postponement of the match between Barcelona and CA Osasuna. In a statement, the club expressed its condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Miñarro, highlighting its support during these difficult times.
The president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, was the one who informed coach Hansi Flick about the tragic news, who in turn communicated it to the players. Carles Miñarro joined the Barcelona first team this season, after previously working with the club's futsal team.
The match scheduled for that afternoon between Barcelona and Osasuna for the Spanish League was suspended due to the sudden passing of Carles Miñarro, doctor of the Catalan team. The tragic event took place at the hotel where the team was staying, just moments before the match was set to begin at the Olympic Stadium of Montjuïc. Miñarro, 40 years old, passed away after experiencing a health crisis, despite having shared the day normally with all the club staff.
