It's not about how he can't avoid it, it's about where his arms and thus hands are. His arms are above his head and thrown out. It doesn't have to be deliberate, it's as clear as day.
https://www.clippituser.tv/c/rydmvl commentary sums it up, he makes himself bigger, that's usually the grounds for the sending off.
You literally can't not give that. As for the sending off, Chancel Mbemba was sent off for this against Manchester United in a 3-3 draw. Madrid had a sending off not so long ago for it.
As above, overall it's not even just about Roma, the entire refereeing performance was shocking, you have a clear Penalty for Liverpool from Manolas challenge/push, you have a pretty gobsmacking scissor challenge on Mane that results in just a yellow.
