This is the First classification and this is how it would be without the VAR: matchday 28

The only thing missing is for Real Madrid to play their game against Mallorca to close the 28th matchday of LaLiga Santander. The whites, leaders, face the clash with the news of the stumble of their closest pursuer, Sevilla. Those of Lopetegui failed to go from a draw to one against Rayo and remain seven points behind Madrid. Barcelona thrashed Osasuna and is close to second position. Atlético, who beat Cádiz, is fourth. Betis and Real Sociedad occupy the Europa League and Conference League positions, respectively.

this journey VAR has been decisive in two games. In Getafe-Valencia he prevented the local victory due to an imminent handball on Mayoral’s goal. Las Rozas warned of that infraction and canceled the goal. Same action and same decision was made in Vallecaswhen he was warned of a handball by Rafa Mir that would annul the goal that could have given Sevilla the three points. In that Rayo-Sevilla a penalty by Catena on Rafa was also annulled, considering that the contact was not enough to signal the maximum penalty. In Atlético-Cádiz, the video arbitration acted to lower Reinildo’s sanction from red to yellow.

The VAR intervened again against Sevilla and cost him points. The people from Seville are the team that would have scored the most points if this technology did not exist in LaLiga. A fictional classification of what it would be like without the influence, Lopetegui’s men would have added six points and would be leaders over Madrid, who still have one less game. The whites, thanks to the fact that the VAR has corrected the field referees, have added three more points.
