Oh you  Grin I did not think that you would seriously talk about conspiracy theories and "Perez bought everything."
As for mistakes in different directions at a distance, then what, three Champions Leagues in a row that Real won is a short distance for you? This is 39 games (more than the number of games in the Premier League) and Real Madrid were the strongest in the results of these games. Is it because Perez bought everything or just because Real Madrid were stronger?  Roll Eyes

Neither nor. You are mentioning 39 games, but you are neglecting the fact that Real Madrid's journey would have ended in the quarter finals for example in one year with a halfway decent referee. There is a huge difference between getting lucky in the round of 16 due to wrong referee decisions and then be able to play till the end compared to getting knocked out right away. Of course they had the chance to play the next round, but that chance wasn't based on them being the superior or more efficient team.

That is why I am saying that the domestic league title is the most honest title a team can win. It is not perfectly honest, but more honest than any one or two leg knockout tournament. With the VAR in place today, Real Madrid would probably not have achieved what they did achieve without the VAR. Since the VAR makes the game more precise, variance would decrease and the scope for lucky probabilities for Real Madrid would have been smaller.

The variance of mistaken decisions can have insane impact on the history of a sport. It can give a team a record that will almost never be broken, or it could end the streak in the following year immediately. In this case dozens of decisions helped Real Madrid to win those three titles in a row. Congrats Wink

Well, these are your fantasies, nothing more. For example, there is an opinion that if there weren’t those mistakes, Real Madrid would have won even more convincingly and you can’t refute this  Cheesy
Your problem is that you oppose words/opinions/fantasies to facts - you immediately lose at this moment. Real Madrid won the Champions League three times in a row and no matter how much you like it, this is a fact and the greatest achievement. You don't like mistakes (neither do I), but before VAR and after VAR they are, but someone wins tournaments, and someone remains a loser talking about injustices.
And you are wrong about comparing 39 games in the Champions League and a round robin - in the Champions League (as you yourself pointed out) each game is much more important and if we go back to your words about "short distance" we will see that you are wrong - 39 games more than 38 (moreover, these 39 games are more important) and Real Madrid, following the results of these 39 games, became the absolute champion.
In this way, you proved that Real Madrid was stronger than everyone else in the long run and in more important games. Well done (although I'm not sure if you wanted to prove it  Grin ).
