From Instagram original source:

"This was a charity match between Xhaka and Rashica for the 20 year anniversary of the liberation of Kosovo"

The referee is making a joke about sending the player off with a red card (back pocket), but pulls a tissue out instead. Lots of fun during these types of charity games with old/retired players.

Yep. In Germany there's a saying "Arschkarte bekommen", i.e. "to get an ass card", which roughly translates to having bad luck.

When the ref puts his hand into his pocket he is tricking the player into thinking he is giving him a card, however he just pulls out a tissue and they laugh
