LaLiga goes to the national team break with the Real Sociedad leader. Imanol’s men have 28 points, one more than Real Madrid, second and with a postponed game, which beat Rayo 2-1 and is sixth. Barcelona stumbled again and accumulated 17 points, eleven behind the leadership. Elche (11), Levante (6) and Getafe (6) remain in relegation places.
Offside weekend. In up to three conflicting goals due to overtaking, the VAR had to intervene to correct the referee’s initial decision. It was decisive for the result of two games. At the Bernabéu the previously canceled Kroos goal was conceded (Without saying so much, Madrid would not have won by three against Rayo); In Mestalla, Vrslajko’s goal was validated, also badly annulled by a non-existent offside and that earned the rojiblancos a point. The third intervention was in La Cerámica, he entered to cancel Paco Alcácer’s goal.
VAR interventions that conditioned the sign

Granada 1 – Valencia 1 (2-1)
Montoro’s goal annulled by the VAR for offside.
Levante 1 – Ray 1 (0-1)

Alavés 1 – Elche 0 (1-1)
A goal from Carrillo, who was ahead, but the ball bounced off Lejeune.
