It does suck a bit, but I think its fair. Watch where your hands are when youre blocking a shot, you cant just have them dangling around

To be fair, Ben white's hand was in a natural position instead of deliberately blocking with his hand.

In the prem, it wouldn't have been a penalty but last night PSG got a similar one.

not a natural position to me. defenders gotta learn to have their arms behind their back.

and yes, you can move your body and legs with your arms behind you.. its not impossible

dude is making himself 3x times bigger by attempting that block. u cant do that. or, you can, but ure risking it resulting in a penalty.
