Tebas Sets a Trap for Barça and Joan Laporta Dodges it: ‘There is No…’

FC Barcelona disagrees with the date proposed by LaLiga to play the postponed match against Osasuna

It is not being easy to find an available date for the postponed match between Barça and Osasuna, scheduled for last March 8. Finally, Barça requested to suspend it due to the sudden death of their doctor, Carles Miñarro. Now, it seems that the president of LaLiga could take advantage of the situation by setting a trap for Joan Laporta with the new date.

It is not easy to find a date and Tebas has proposed the possibility of playing it on Thursday, March 27, ending the international break. Joan Laporta has completely refused, arguing that, in 12 days, Barça's international players will have just finished playing with their national teams and will be returning, making their draft impossible.

Playing this match between Barça and Osasuna on the date proposed by Javier Tebas, they could not count on footballers of the caliber of Raphinha or Ronald Araújo. In this sense, the rest would be very tired, as they would have played with their national teams in the last 24 or 48 hours.

At Barça, this is seen as a showdown by Tebas, president of LaLiga, in the midst of the struggle for the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor. The anger is total, especially having two possibilities on the horizon that would have Osasuna's approval.

Two possible dates for Barça-Osasuna

Although the intention is to do it as soon as possible, there are only two available dates. There are not many alternatives with the Barça team involved in all the competitions in play: LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and Champions League.

This way, there are only two dates, for the moment, that seem feasible for the playing of this LaLiga match. The first of them would be the weekend of April 26 and 27, as long as Barcelona is eliminated from the Copa del Rey and can't play the desired final.

The Copa final will be played next April 26, so if Barça falls in the semifinals against Atlético, this possibility would open up.

The second one is further away in time. The Barça-Osasuna could be postponed until the week of May 19 to 25. With no midweek match, it could be played on Wednesday, the 21st, since the last LaLiga matchday will be concentrated on Sunday, the 25th.

Tebas intends to use the situation to make things difficult for Barça, something that has greatly angered Joan Laporta.
