Emotional Message from Dani Olmo to Carles Miñarro on His Social Media: 'Difficult to...'

The Barça midfielder speaks out after learning the tragic news of Carles Miñarro's passing.

Dani Olmo is surely one of the most affected after the death of Carles Miñarro, the FC Barcelona doctor who passed away suddenly this afternoon. The news was known a few minutes before the Catalan club's match against Osasuna in Montjuïc, causing its suspension with 20 minutes remaining. Since then, reactions have not stopped coming, and the latest has been from the midfielder.

Let's remember that Dani Olmo and Carles Miñarro have been two of the new faces that joined FC Barcelona's squad for this new season. The former Leipzig player arrived in the Catalan city after a payment of €55M to Leipzig, while the renowned doctor joined Flick's staff to bring his experience. Both had integrated perfectly into the dynamics and, by fate, had spent a lot of time together in recent months.
