It’s certainly starting to feel like VAR is going the way of Real Madrid and Barcelona, and that’s been proved again this week.
Lionel Messi escaped any action despite a horrific challenge last night, and Real Madrid can count themselves very lucky here:

Modric slips a through ball for Vinicius, who chips the goalkeeper and has Los Blancos in front 1-0 ?#RealMadridRCDMallorca pic.twitter.com/oEkEuzWMdE— beIN SPORTS USA (@beINSPORTSUSA) June 24, 2020
It’s a fine finish from Vinicius Jr who deserves a lot of credit, but it does look like there’s a blatant foul in the build up.
It almost feels like any excuse to go the way of the big two will be taken, while it will take something egregious to overrule anything against them.
