It’s good that this is only the first match and this penalty was not decisive. I think that a draw in an away match is not the worst result, of course they would like to win away, but after this match PSV is in a more difficult situation, since the match in Germany will definitely be more difficult for them. This is not the first time that a referee's error has affected the final result. In the second match, Inter managed to beat Atletico, I didn’t expect that they could win, I expected that the match would end in a draw. Now Atletico will have to correct the situation in Madrid...

Regardless of what happens, the final result 1-1 is very profitable for Dortmund who will play the second leg at home.

Dortmund have a big chance of qualifying for the next round. In home matches the players of the teams are confident and can perform well. In yesterday's home match we saw PSV players play well. They did a lot of attacks. But Dortmund were very tactical. Their main aim was to strengthen the defence. After keeping the defense strong, Dortmund's players launched a counter attack.

PSV has actually made maximum efforts but the quality of the Dortmund team is slightly better than PSV so the results of this series are not surprising.

This is the gameplay I expected from PSV. Because this two teams is not consider a weak teams at all.

This statistic clearly shows that the match was dominated by PSV's players. They played well it's true. The attacking players missed several chances. Otherwise, maybe PSV would have won.

And for the Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid match, it was very fierce, even though Inter Milan won the match, they couldn't completely calm down because they only had a 1 goal lead, making it possible to be chased by Atletico who will play at home in the second leg.

Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid both had strong squads. So the match was also very competitive. However, I expected to see better performances from players in the forward lineup of Atletico Madrid. I think Atletico Madrid were tactically weak in this match. Otherwise, Atletico Madrid had the ability to draw the match.
