How the table stands with and without VAR after matchday 33 | OneFootball

Matchday 33 brought a glut of VAR calls as the title picture barely shifted and the relegation scrap intensified. According to as.com, Barcelona won again and Real Madrid did not slip, Atlético fell to Elche, and Levante beat Sevilla, deepening the Andalusians' problems.

Across the round there were almost a dozen interventions. At San Mamés it struck twice, first cancelling a Lucas Torró penalty, then awarding one for a Yeray handball that Unai Simón saved.

Two penalties were overturned at the Ciutat de València, one for Levante and one for Sevilla. At the Reale Arena a clear handball by Abqar was flagged, and in Oviedo the foul by Calvo on Pépé was reviewed and the kick retaken for encroachment.

At the Martínez Valero VAR confirmed the ball had not crossed the byline before Atlético scored, while Barcelona had a Ferrán strike ruled out for offside.

The report catalogues decisions that changed results up to this point. Examples include Real Sociedad 2-2 Espanyol after Puado converted a retaken penalty, Athletic 1-0 Rayo after a spot kick for a foul on Sancet, Sevilla 2-2 Elche with Peque’s goal given, and Levante 2-2 Betis after Altimira’s effort was chalked off for a prior Junior foul on Iván Romero.

Other notable swings: Mallorca 3-2 Athletic with two Muriqi penalties for handball, Osasuna 2-1 Real Madrid after a Budimir penalty and a Raúl García goal stood, and Girona 1-1 Real Madrid when Mbappé’s goal was disallowed for handball.
