VAR interventions have been decisive in the sign of six games of this season for Real Madrid and Barcelona, but not for the amount of points of each of them, since it has given them as many as it has taken from them. That is to say, with or without VAR, Real Madrid would add 77 points and Barcelona 73. Maintaining the difference of four points between them.
To the whites, of the 5 interventions that have lived in their favor this season in two led them to go from a draw to victory; while in two other eruptions of this tool led them to lose another four points, going from tie to defeat. Regarding Barcelona, of the three interventions in favor one served to add two points; while of seven against only in one was decisive for the party sign and make them lose two.
But not only this season the VAR has given them the same points that it has taken from them, it also has in the previous campaign, when whites too managed to score four points thanks to the intervention of this tool and lose as many. Instead, Barcelona last season did not experience any irruption of this tool that conditioned the sign of the party. Although the azulgrana were from the teams that lived the least against: alone two, in front of six in his favor. Instead, Madrid was the team that experienced the most bursts against him (10) by the VAR, only exceeding this negative figure the Ray (12). The interventions in favor of the Whites in 18-19 were 4, the third with less after Leganés (2) and Valladolid (3).
If we unite the influence of the VAR in both seasons, the image would look like this: to nobody of the two teams has not given them more points or subtracted them, both have intervened on their behalf on the same occasions (9) and there would be a difference in irruptions against him (15 damaged Madrid and 9 Barcelona).
