The president of La Liga Santander, Javier Tebas, has criticised the use of VAR in Spain and said that "we have to improve it, we cannot be oblivious to the controversy. We're seeing  big errors and it's getting involved in too many plays." 

In an interview with the show Onze on TV3, Tebas also referred to the comments made in January when it was claimed that the criteria had changed after a call from Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

"That a club as important as Real Madrid can make a call like that 20 minutes after a game ends is not convenient for the refereeing world," he said. "Maybe that creates more tension among the referees.

"We have to try and ensure that the refereeing collective is involved in controversial decisions as little as possible, but of course, if we announce and say that we have spoken with the president of Real Madrid about VAR, it wasn't the best thing."
