The international break is supposed to last two weeks, but the Spanish Federation has forced Barcelona to cut it short by three days and face Osasuna in a rearranged La Liga game on Thursday, after the original match was postponed due to the tragic death of Barça’s first team doctor Carles Miñarro.
Neither team is particularly happy about having to play this game on this date, and Barça are especially hit hard as they now face an insane schedule of nine games in 28 days, but they have no choice but to move on and try to get a victory and earn a three-point lead at the top of the table with 10 games to go.
