 VAR In LaLiga

The Video Assistant Referee system, known as VAR, has been used in LaLiga since the 2018/2019 season, but there are still doubts as to when it can be used and how it can be used.


When can VAR intervene in LaLiga?


The Video Assistant Referee can only assist the match referee where there is either a ‘clear and obvious error’ or ‘serious missed incident’ in relation to one of the four following situations:


  1. Goal/No Goal: This is the same GDS (Goal Decision System) as seen previously in the premier league post.
  2. Penalty/No Penalty: This is where LaLiga Tends to differ from Premier League. LaLiga is far more liberal with giving penalties to Teams. Teams like Real Madrid earned the slander names like "Real Vardrid" thanks to this. This can make European competitions slightly tricky as during games between English and Spanish teams, they need to decide how strict to be to best favor both teams.
  3. Direct Red Card: This is the biggest difference between LaLiga and other leagues. LaLiga does NOT check VAR for second yellow fouls. However they do check for direct red cards, which are usually endangering challenges.
  4. Mistaken Identity: this is the exact same as the premier league

Who makes the final decision?

It is always the match referee who makes the final decision. They can though base that decision on what they are told by the VAR, or they can conduct an on-field review, which is where the referee watches replays on a TV by the side of the pitch.

What time limit is there to carry out a VAR review?

There is no time limit set in the VAR protocol; this is because “accuracy is more important than speed”.

Does VAR consider every situation?

It is important to note that the VAR is constantly monitoring the game, meaning any of the four situations where a review can be initiated are automatically being scrutinised. That means there is no requirement for players or coaches to ask for a review. Indeed, requesting a review is a cautionable offence, including making the on-field review gesture, or making the sign of a TV.

  VAR In the Premier League (England) The Premier League (Formerly The Barclays League) is the top flight English competition, allowing teams from anywhere in England to compete at the highest level. Many consider this to be the most competitive top flight league in the world, this is because of the volatility of the league, it feels as though its rarely a one horse race at the start of a season. The EPL (English Premier League) has hosted some of the greatest talents and teams in the world. VAR in the EPL is one of the most consistently controversial forms of the technology. VAR is limited to 4 categories for the EPL, these are: Possible Red Card, Possible Penalties, Goal Decisions and Mistaken Identity.
