How Valencia CF would have finished LaLiga without VAR | OneFootball

An especially tight LaLiga season went to the final minutes, raising the question of how Valencia CF might have finished without VAR. This analysis focuses only on interventions that directly altered the scoreline and the match outcome.

According to Superdeporte, only decisions that added or removed goals were counted, whether right or wrong, to produce a no VAR table.

In that scenario, Barcelona would lead on 95 points, ahead of Real Madrid on 91, with Atlético de Madrid on 67 and Villarreal on 66. Valencia would place ninth on 49, level with Sevilla and Espanyol.

The biggest beneficiaries from VAR were Getafe with five points and Girona with four. Sevilla lost six, Real Madrid five and Real Sociedad four through corrections.

Valencian clubs were barely moved. Villarreal were on minus three, Valencia unchanged, Elche up two and Levante up one.

The final round was largely unified, except Villarreal against Atlético de Madrid, underlining how small margins shaped places. VAR was introduced to correct major errors and will remain a key part of the competition.
