VAR has been a big help this season, but it still leaves some issues up to the referee to interpret. Two goals were ruled out this weekend due to the positional offside of a player, the first by Martínez Munuera following a strike by Real Madrid’s Modric, and the second by Sánchez Martínez following a shot from Valencia’s Guedes. In the two cases though the player in question (Varane and Gameiro respectively) were in the keeper’s direct line of sight, and the fourth officials confirmed on video evidence that the goals shouldn’t stand.
