VAR Robs Newcastle of Deserved Victory With Controversial Decision on Penalty

Wolves manager Gary O’Neil was vocal about the controversial VAR call on Monday, arguing that livelihoods were at stake. However, the simple joy of the sport is also at risk, with famous football nights being ruined by VAR. Instead of celebrating Newcastle United’s historic victory against Paris Saint-Germain, the focus is on technical calls rather than heroic performances. Newcastle teenager Lewis Miley’s standout performance against PSG should have been legendary, but it was overshadowed by the controversial VAR decision. Defender Kieran Trippier voiced his frustration with the decision, stating that the referee should explain his choice. Despite the controversy, Miley’s brilliant performance on the field should not be forgotten, as he displayed composure, authority, and leadership beyond his years.
