The title race is in full swing in Spain. While Atlético de Madrid surely said goodbye to its last title of title on the past weekend by losing at home against FC Barcelona (2-4), the Catalan club is still struggling with Real Madrid, which has still not said its last word. In the ranking, the two rivals are in the shoulder-to-gode, but Barça can boast of counting a match less than its Madrid rival while counting the same number of points. This less match corresponds to the game against Osasuna. As a reminder, this match was to be played on March 8, but had been canceled following the death of Dr. Carles Minarro a little earlier in the day.
Reprogrammed on March 27, this new date caused the ire of Barcelona leaders. Indeed, the postponement to this date is not at all to the taste of Hansi Flick, who made it known to its leaders. Indeed, during this period, the German coach will not have the possibility of aligning Ronald Araujo and Raphinha, who will still be in rally respectively with Uruguay and Brazil. In misunderstanding, the former coach of Bayern Munich is therefore waiting for his club to call on this postponement but the Catalan training is not really optimistic about his chances of seeing the meeting be repelled again on a later date, as indicated Marca.

Worse still, Carlo Ancelotti's workforce had less than 72 hours of break before 9 of his 22 games this year. A trying situation which also pushed the Italian technician pushed a rant after the last match against Villarreal: “We are not going to present ourselves to another match with less than 72 hours of rest.You will understand, the calendar and the frantic pace of Liga meetings is bringing out of its hinges Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, which are still far from having seen the end of the tunnel by being engaged in all competitions.
