In the third round of La Liga, Vallecano drew 1-1 with Barcelona at home. In this field, the VAR system cannot operate normally due to technical problems. In response to this, the Spanish referee Technical Committee issued a statement in response to the VAR failure incident.

The Spanish referees Technical Committee said in a clarification statement: "Although this failure was caused by external reasons and we lost technical support to run the VAR system, we are fully willing and actively working with equipment supplier Mediapro to help solve the problem that caused the system to crash." After the match, Mediapro Group explained that due to problems with the power system, VAR failed to work properly in the first half, which also led to the failure to review the penalty for Yamal's penalty. Mediapro pointed out that despite the best efforts of the technicians, they still couldn't resume VAR services in the first half, but the system returned to normal in the second half.

Vallecano head coach Inigo Perez expressed respect for the referee's performance, but also criticized the uncertainty caused by VAR sometimes not in the game, especially in Yamal's penalty.

Vallecano player Parathon revealed that during the break, referee Matteo Busquets apologized to the players because after watching the replay in the locker room, he realized that the penalty was wrong. However, VAR was not able to help when the penalty actually occurred.
