Real Madrid regains the leadership of the First Division after beating Granada 1-4 and the stumble of Real Sociedad, which drew at home against Valencia. The txuri-urdin, with 29 points and one game more than the whites, occupy the second position one point behind. Sevilla, which also tied, is third, with two points more than Atlético. Xavi Hernández made his debut on the Barcelona bench with victory and slipping into Europa League positions.
Only two VAR interventions on the 14th day of the League (in the absence of Rayo-Mallorca this Monday). The first irruption was in Levante-Athletic: Campaña elbowed Yeray in a corner kick, the VAR says that they review it as a possible penalty and the referee, after seeing it, said that there was nothing. The other performance of the video arbitration was in Sevilla-Alavés, when the VOR warned of a hand from Ocampos that would end in a penalty and Joselu would transform. The entry of the VAR in Barcelona-Espanyol was also requested. Del Cerro signaled a Cabrera penalty on Memphis Depay, but the parakeet defender had cleanly stolen the ball and in the end there was a small contact, which led to them not entering from the VAR.
VAR interventions that conditioned the sign
Betis 1 – Cádiz 1 (Without VAR, 1-0)
Rui Silva penalty on Lozano. Negredo threw it and it stopped Rui SIlva, who had both feet in front of the line. It is seen by the VAR and it is repeated. Negredo brand.
Granada 1 – Valencia 1 (2-1)
Montoro’s goal annulled by the VAR for offside.
Levante 1 – Ray 1 (0-1)
The VAR warns of a hand within the Ciss area, although the Ray claimed a previous foul. Alberola Rojas sees her and points out a penalty. Roger transforms it.
Elche 1 – Celta 0 (1-1)
The referee goes to the monitor and cancels Aspas’s goal for helping his arm to score.
Athletic 2 – Villarreal 1 (1-1)
The VAR warns of a penalty from Alberto Moreno on Vencedor for stepping on his foot. He points it out and Muniain transforms it.
Atlético 2 – Sevilla 2 (1-2)
Entry from behind Merino to Luis Suárez that prevents him from finishing. Munuera indicates the maximum penalty. Luis Suárez transforms it.
Alavés 1 – Elche 0 (1-1)
A goal from Carrillo, who was ahead, but the ball bounced off Lejeune. The VAR recommends reviewing the review considering that that offside should be penalized, since it understands that the Alavés player does not try to play the ball. Gil Manzano, after seeing the repetition on the scoreboard, decides to cancel it.

Ocampos goal annulled by the VAR for a previous hand of Fernando.

Valencia 3 – Athletic 3 (3-2)
The linesman annulled Vrslajko’s goal as he considered it to be offside, but the VAR conceded the goal.
Sevilla 2 – Alavés 2 (2-1)
