Real Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham is reported to break a rare La Liga clothing rule during every game he plays for the club.
Bellingham, a summer transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Los Blancos, has emerged as the team’s most vital member.
With 13 goals in 16 league games, the superstar from England has propelled Madrid to the top of the standings.
Since his switch to the Spanish capital, he has hardly missed any action and is quickly ascending to the status of club legend.
But Bellingham has managed to violate a little-known rule that applies throughout the country.
The 20-year-old has been cutting holes in the back of his socks, following in the footsteps of a number of football players in recent years.
The primary purpose of the two back holes that players create is to protect the calf muscles.
The holes reduce the likelihood of cramps and muscle injuries by allowing the tension in their legs to be released.
According to the Spanish publication AS as reported by SportBible, this actually goes against La Liga regulations. Since players aren’t supposed to be on the field with rips in their shirts, shorts, or socks.
You shouldn’t be concerned that Bellingham might be punished for such a minor transgression.

LaLiga Chiefs are said to “turn a blind eye” because they “know the medical chaos” that will result from making players wear full socks.
Bellingham’s England teammates,Conor Gallagher, Kyle Walker, and Bukayo Saka, are among the other players with punctured socks.
