This is how the First Division classification would have remained without the VAR

The 21-22 season has already ended in the First Division and it has done so with less turmoil in terms of refereeing. The VAR has once again been the protagonist in several sections of the campaign and its influence has been decisive for several teams. Without the technology a ticket for the Super Cup would not have the name of Barcelona, ​​Villarreal would be in the Europa League and relegation would not have been mourned in Los Cármenes.

The VAR has lifted its foot from the accelerator this season and its interventions have been reduced. From 155 a year ago to 143 today. He has been key on several fronts in qualifying. There would be changes in the European positions and in relegation if we compare with how the table would have been without the VAR (the conceded and annulled are added and subtracted and the goals achieved via penalties after a VAR warning are removed. In the case of penalties canceled by technology, these goals are not added as it is not guaranteed that they can be transformed).

For example, Barcelona would not have finished runner-up, since that place would be occupied by Sevilla (they would have added five more points) and they would be the ones who would play in the next edition of the Super Cup. In the other two European competitions there would also be changes: Villarreal would go to the Europa League and Real Sociedad to the Conference. And one of the most important changes due to its hardness: Mallorca would have been the team that would have accompanied Levante and Alavés in relegation. Granada would have been saved.

Valencia is the team that has experienced the most VAR interventions on the pitch (22), ahead of Granada (20) and Villarreal (18). The least have been Barcelona and Elche (9 both). LThe ones that have ‘suffered’ the most by correcting a decision against them have been Valencia and Getafe (both 10), ahead of Real Madrid and Villarreal (9). In the chapter with the most ‘beneficiaries’ are Levante and Granada (11) along with Valencia and Athletic (10).
