Barça still would have been champions without VAR

A goal by Lionel Messi was enough for Barcelona to clinch the league title at the Camp Nou before their fans in the run-up to the important week of the return of the Champions League, where Barça will meet Liverpool to fight their way to the final.

The Catalan club has been the most consistent team of the competition. A tournament that had more expectation than ever with the arrival of VAR in Spain after its trial run in the World Cup in Russia.

But, as 'AS' reviews, Messi and company would also have been champions without it in LaLiga. A table that would have been altered without it, although Barça still would have had 83 points.

Atlético and Real Madrid would have one and two points less, respectively, without VAR. Valencia would be fourth and not Getafe, which would be relegated to fourth place in the classification.

In the lower zone, Rayo would be one point away from relegation, Girona two and Huesca five. A snapshot of how La Liga would have turned out without VAR.
