Stats: VAR has disallowed more than twice as many Real Madrid goals as Barcelona’s since 2018

It has been almost a decade since VAR was introduced in the Spanish top flight, but the controversies simply do not seem to stop. According to Mundo Deportivo , Real Madrid have had 42 goals overturned by VAR since the technology was introduced in La Liga , more than any other club in the competition. Since VAR's introduction in the 2018-19 season, referees have initially awarded 42 Madrid goals that were subsequently ruled out following video reviews. Vinicius thought he had scored against Villarreal only for it to be chalked off after a VAR review.
