The 24th round of La Liga matches witnessed widespread controversy due to the interventions of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), which contributed to changing the outcomes of several matches over the weekend, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Sport'.

VAR decisions led to adjustments in the results of three main matches, where the biggest beneficiaries were Espanyol, Sevilla, and Getafe. In two cases, a goal was canceled for the opponents due to offside, while Getafe received a decisive penalty that settled the match in their favor.

Although it did not directly affect the point distribution in the Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad match, VAR sparked significant controversy for not awarding a second penalty to Real Madrid, amidst many other correct decisions.

La Liga standings after round 24 without VAR:

1- Real Madrid - 62 points

2- Barcelona - 59 points - one game in hand

3- Atletico Madrid - 46 points

4- Villarreal - 44 points

5- Real Betis - 40 points

6- Celta Vigo - 35 points

7- Real Sociedad - 34 points

8- Espanyol - 33 points

9- Osasuna - 30 points

10- Athletic Bilbao - 28 points

12- Alaves - 27 points

13- Getafe - 27 points

14- Valencia - 26 points

15- Rayo Vallecano - 26 points - one game in hand

16- Mallorca - 25 points

17- Girona - 23 points - one game in hand

18- Sevilla - 22 points

19- Levante - 17 points - one game in hand

20- Real Oviedo - 17 points - one game in hand

The list of matches where VAR changed the results includes many indicators from the first round to round 24, most notably: repeated penalties, goals canceled due to offside, and goals counted after reviewing cases.

Among the most notable cases where VAR intervened:

Espanyol 2 - Celta Vigo 2: Borja Iglesias' goal canceled, result without VAR 3-2.

Getafe 2 - Villarreal 1: Penalty scored by Arambarri, result without VAR 1-1.

Sevilla 1 - Alaves 1: Lucas Boye's goal canceled due to offside: result without VAR 2-1.

These instances illustrate the significant impact of VAR on team standings and match results, where without it, round 24 would have witnessed notable changes in the points table.
