The fight for LaLiga maintains its emotion and tension in the absence of three days. All four title candidates tied their matches: Barcelona and Atlético did not go 0-0 and Real Madrid-Sevilla finished 2-2 in a match marked by arbitration decisions.
The VAR has fumed on the 35th day. He has been decisive in several games and has entered 10 actions. At Real Madrid-Sevilla he acted twice: he annulled a goal to Benzema for offside by Odriozola and annulled a penalty in favor of the whites to award another in favor of Sevilla by the hand of Militao. Where he entered the most was La Cerámica, up to four times. A previous foul on Santi Mina's goal was reviewed, but Medié Jiménez kept his decision and conceded the goal. In the following three if he would change his decision: rHe would lower Araujo's sanction from red to yellow, a tackle on Brais would go from a foul to a penalty and would signal a penalty by Kevin Vázquez after passing through the monitor.
He also acted twice for Real Sociedad-Elche. There Raúl Guti was expelled for a serious foul play entry and a goal to Monreal was disallowed for offside. The technology in the Coliseum was decisive, where penalty was awarded by Maksimovic's hand and that Recio would transform so that Eibar took the three points. Also influenced the sign of the Alavés-Levante match by conceding a phantom goal by Joselu That would allow the locals to add a point.
