Team doctor Carles Miñarro García passes away suddenly
Overwhelmed, powerless, sad, empty - because suddenly one of them is no longer there. When FC Barcelona arrived at their daytime accommodation, the Hotel Torre Melina Gran Meliá, shortly after 1 p.m. on Saturday, Carles Miñarro García also got off the bus.
In a clip published by ‘El Chiringuito’ at lunchtime, the doctor, second in the hierarchy of the medical staff, can be seen immediately after Pedri.
It was the last hours of his life.
Things got restless after 8 pm
He took part in the joint lunch, where he is said to have checked Robert Lewandowski's physical condition and advised him to take a break. In fact, the Pole's name did not even appear among the reserves when the starting XI was announced.
Miñarro was later apparently found dead in his hotel room, having reportedly died in his sleep. Another nap before heading to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. The team apparently set off there at around 7 p.m. without him - unaware of what was going on. President Joan Laporta is said to have made his way to the dressing room at the stadium shortly after 8pm to break the tragic news to the professionals, the coaching staff and the rest of the team.
