Former England striker Gary Lineker has criticized a VAR decision that ruled out a goal scored by Victor Osimhen during a UEFA Champions League match. Lineker described the decision as “absurd,” arguing that the technology was not used properly in the situation.

The controversial moment occurred during a match in the UEFA Champions League when Osimhen thought he had given his team a crucial goal. However, after a VAR review, the referee ruled the goal out for offside.

Reacting to the decision, Lineker took to social media to express his frustration. He suggested that VAR should be used to correct clear mistakes, not to make extremely tight calls that spoil the excitement of the game.

The incident has once again sparked debate among football fans and analysts about the role of VAR in football. Many supporters believe the technology needs clearer rules to avoid controversial decisions in big competitions.
