Dortmund almost became German champions last year and only some sort of curse prevented them from beating Bayern. So Dortmund is a very strong team that can play on equal footing with the strongest groups, which is proved by the fact that from the group with PSG, Newcastle and Milan they went to 1/8 Champions League.

They should have won the match with PSV, but the referee awarded an extremely controversial penalty, which should not have been awarded, because the Dortmund player played into the ball, not into the feet of the PSV player and because of the referee's mistake Dortmund lost 3 points.

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...

Correct. From the current condition of the 2 teams, I think a draw is very fair for both teams. The reason is that PSV Eindhoven in terms of performance this season is much better, even in the domestic league they are unbeatable. Meanwhile, in my opinion, Borussia Dortmund's performance this season is less stable and even tends to be inconsistent. So a draw is still good for Dortmund to be able to turn things around in the second leg which will be played at home. I even think that PSV should have won this match in the first leg because PSV dominated most of the match and could have scored 3-1 if they had taken advantage of opportunities more effectively.
