VAR and Atlético: A Detailed Analysis
The 2024-25 season has been historic for VAR, breaking intervention records, especially in penalties and red cards. This increase reflects both greater accuracy in detecting offsides thanks to semi-automatic technology, and a greater number of refereeing errors on the field.
Analyzing the impact of VAR on teams, Atlético de Madrid is among the clubs with the most players sent off after a review, with a total of three expulsions. Regarding penalties, VAR has influenced the awarding of four penalties in favor of Atlético.
