Barcelona’s previously postponed La Liga fixture against Osasuna has been officially rescheduled for Thursday, March 27, 2025. The Catalan giants will have to navigate this crucial encounter without two of their key players, Raphinha and Ronald Araújo, who will still be on international duty. This scheduling dilemma puts extra pressure on Hansi Flick’s squad, as they prepare for a packed calendar.
Just 64 hours after facing Osasuna, Barcelona will be back in action, hosting Girona at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Sunday, March 30. The tight scheduling leaves little room for recovery, making squad rotation a significant factor in ensuring optimal performance in both matches.
Raphinha’s attacking prowess and Araújo’s defensive solidity have been crucial for Barcelona this season. Their absence will force Flick to rely on alternative options, with players like Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Inigo Martinez likely stepping up to fill the void.
As La Liga’s top-four race intensifies, every point is crucial for Barcelona. The club will be aiming to secure maximum points against Osasuna and Girona to keep their league title hopes alive.
