Do you think referees favor Real Madrid and Barcelona more?
Due to their status as major Spanish football clubs, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have historically been considered as the teams that benefit the most from refereeing decisions. The introduction of VAR has not changed this perception for many, especially among fans of other clubs in La Liga.
In the last matchday before the international break, both Real Madrid and Barcelona benefited from VAR decisions: Real Madrid in the Joselu goal (which was in an offside position that VAR did not detect), and Barcelona in the penalty awarded to Lewandowski and the subsequent sending off of Catena.
