Official: Barcelona's clash with Osasuna postponed at the last minute
The La Liga meeting between Barcelona and Osasuna on Saturday night has been called off at the last minute.
This comes owing to an apparent death of an individual with ties to the Blaugrana dressing room.
The day's action in Spain's top-flight was due to be brought to a close in Catalunya's capital late this evening.
As much came with table-topping Barcelona looking to extend their advantage over the chasing pack, in a home meeting with Osasuna.
The two squads had been close to finalising their warm-ups, with the respective starting XIs having been made official across social media, too.
As alluded to above, though, Barca and Osasuna will not take to the pitch on Saturday.
As confirmed by La SER, amongst others, this comes following the passing of an unnamed individual:
'A person close to the FC Barcelona locker room has died and the players asked for the suspension of the match.'

Clàudia Pina scores twice as Spain beats England 2-1 in Nations League
Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — World champion Spain beat European champion England 2-1 on Tuesday in the UEFA Women's Nations League in their last competitive game before the Lionesses defend their title next month. Spain substitute Claudia Pina turned the game around by scoring twice within minutes of coming on in the second half after England led thanks to Alessia Russo's goal in the 22nd. Barcelona forward Pina struck in the 60th and 70th minutes at Espanyol's stadium to ensure Spain topped their Nations League group despite losing 1-0 to England at Wembley Stadium in February. 'The second half, they started really quick,' England coach Sarina Wiegman said. 'They pressed even higher. We had some trouble to get out of the press and keep the ball.' Spain, which also beat England in the 2023 Women's World Cup final, advances to the semifinals in October. The draw is made Friday and will involve defending champion Spain, France, Germany and Sweden. The European Championship is the priority this year, and the 16-team tournament kicks off July 2 in Switzerland. England is in a tough group with France, the Netherlands and Wales. Spain is drawn with Portugal, Belgium and Italy. Playing in her 50th game for England, Russo's goal was her 22nd for her country. The Arsenal forward was in the Women's Champions League winning team last month, dethroning Pina's Barcelona. ___ AP soccer: in this topic
