Barcelona's match was postponed minutes before kickoff due to the death of the team doctor.

The La Liga match between Barcelona and Osasuna has been postponed due to the death of the Catalan club's doctor, Carles Minarro Garcia. Following Garcia's death earlier on Saturday, the postponement was announced just minutes before the match was scheduled to begin at Olympic Stadium. Both teams had announced their lineups, and the players had entered to warm up before Barcelona announced the game's postponement over the stadium's speakers. According to La Liga, the competition committee will set a new date in the coming days. "FC Barcelona is deeply saddened to announce the passing of first-team doctor Carles Minarro Garcia this evening," the club said in a statement.

Salah's 4/10 performance in Liverpool's victory over PSG has sparked criticism from national media.


Liverpool stunned Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes, winning 1-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 match.

It wasn't pretty, but the Reds will be happy to have a 1-0 lead going into the second leg at Anfield.

Liverpool were dominated by a PSG team that took 27 shots but struggled to beat Alisson Becker in goal after a remarkable shot-stopping performance.

With talisman Mohamed Salah underperforming, Liverpool manager Arne Slot rolled the dice and brought on the underused Harvey Elliott, who scored the winner with his first touch of the ball.

When the excitement of this smash-and-grab victory fades, the Red will realize they were not good enough for much of the game.

Salah went on an anonymous outing. With 52 goals for Liverpool this season, he was expected to be the Reds' danger man on the night.

Salah, on the other hand, failed to cross twice and hit a long ball once. He lost possession 16 times, won 0 of 8 ground duels, and failed to complete any of his four dribbling attempts.


The Express gave the Liverpool legend a 4/10 rating for his poor performance.

They stated: "Not many players have kept Salah quiet this season, but the Egyptian's influence was limited by the excellent Nuno Mendes down Liverpool's right." With 52 goals this season, he has rarely had a bad game in Liverpool red."

Salah must rebound from this performance in the coming games, and Liverpool has a number of important ones ahead.

First, they welcome lowly Southampton to Anfield for what many expect to be a walk in the park, but the Reds must proceed with caution after the Saints made life difficult in their two previous meetings this season.

The second leg against PSG comes next, followed by Liverpool's game against Newcastle United at Wembley. Salah needs to put this PSG performance behind him, up his game, and start delivering again.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
