FC Barcelona is waiting for the date of the match against Osasuna

After the suspension of the match against CA Osasuna last Saturday, March 8, due to the passing of the first team's doctor, Carles Miñarro, the FC Barcelona will learn this Friday the date on which the match corresponding to matchday 27 of LaLiga EA Sports will take place. It is worth noting that after the cancellation of the match was confirmed, both teams were informed that the competition judge would give them a period of five days to agree and present their respective claims.

At this point, the problem is the discrepancy in the positions of the entities. The Catalans are looking for the best option, as they are currently competing in LaLiga, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey.

Several dates are being considered, but not all are convenient for Barcelona

The first option is to play on March 27, an idea that appeals to Osasuna, but is not to the liking of Barcelona, as due to the World Cup qualifiers, both European and South American, which will take place between Thursday the 20th and Tuesday the 25th, several Blaugrana players would arrive with only two days of rest. In light of this, the sports management of the azulgrana club dismisses this idea because they want their players to be at their best, but the regulations of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) make it clear that the call-up of players with their national teams is not a reason to suspend or postpone a match, according to 'Mundo Deportivo'.

Another date being considered is March 31. Considering that UEFA determined that the first leg of the Barcelona team in the quarter-finals of the Champions League will be held on April 9 at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, a range of options opens up, as it would allow the Barcelona-Girona match of matchday 28 to be moved to Friday, March 28.

However, this would mean that the match against Osasuna would be set for the 31st of this month. Therefore, the return leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final would be postponed to April 3, which was initially scheduled for April 2.

April 27? Very complicated

This date would only be available if Barcelona does not reach the final of the Copa del Rey, which will be played on April 26, but the complexity of the situation arises because the current coordination agreement between LaLiga EA Sports and the RFEF prohibits the playing of First Division matches on the weekend of the Copa final. Osasuna is not participating in this competition.

Barcelona prefers to play on May 21

The team from the City of Barcelona has ample reasons to seek the date that best fits its schedule. With this in mind, they would prefer the match against the Navarre team to take place on May 21, although this would mean playing it between the penultimate and last matchday. Now everything is in the hands of José Alberto Peláez, the Sole Judge of Professional Competitions, who will decide the final date.
