Real Madrid had not previously faced VAR decisions against them this season, with the team appearing frustrated under Xabi Alonso and showing better performance with Arbeloa. In the match against Osasuna, however, the VAR made several decisions in favor of the opposing team, all of which were considered accurate by officials.
This marked a new experience for the Spanish giants, as they had been on the receiving end of VAR calls that went against them, with all determinations being validated as correct.
