Premier League pause, Real Madrid and Barcelona in form, VAR ... (ESPN)

The Premier League postponed matches while Barcelona and Real Madrid earned key wins. At Juve, VAR may have cost points. It's ESPN's weekend review.

Allegri also made some questionable choices again, such as taking off [Filip Kostic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/174496/Filip-Kostic) when he was Juve's best player. [Brest](/soccer/team?id=6997) was not a great game, and was the kind of match that is easily forgotten. However, Juventus drawing at home on Sunday to lowly [Salernitana](/soccer/team?id=3240) on Serie A play while being denied a late winner by VAR in a chaotic end is something else. [RB Leipzig](/soccer/team?id=11420) were finished and Borussia Dortmund were looking every bit a contender after four one-goal wins in five Bundesliga games? Until Wednesday, their season had been really good with our wins and a draw in Ligue 1 to start the new campaign, new signing (but in his second stint) [Alexandre Lacazette](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/131752/Alexandre-Lacazette) hitting the ground running straight away and manager Peter Bosz enjoying a few weeks with less pressure and less question marks over his future and his inability to take this team to the next level. With Mallorca a goal up and the half-time whistle imminent, the Uruguayan scored a brilliant solo effort to equalise. [Sunday's 4-1](/soccer/spanish-laliga/story/4743783/valverderodrygo-prove-too-much-as-real-madrid-made-to-work-for-win-by-mallorca) win over [Mallorca](/soccer/team?id=84) was an answer of sorts. [AS Monaco](/soccer/team?id=174), but we didn't see it. [Real Madrid](/soccer/team?id=86), [Barcelona](/soccer/team?id=83) and [Paris Saint-Germain](/soccer/team?id=160) take care of business in their respective league matches. [Lorient](/soccer/team?id=273) on Wednesday evening looked like a trap but Lyon were still favorites and they crashed down badly with a 3-1 loss. Now the pressure is back on him, as it was back in January. [Teams in trouble](#trouble)
