Diario AS reports that it is forbidden for a player to enter the field in ripped shirts, shorts, or even socks during a La Liga match. Jude Bellingham, however, consistently breaks this rule in every game he plays because he only wears ripped socks when he plays for Real Madrid.

In order to protect their calf muscles, players wear ripped socks. The theory behind this is that it eases calf stress, which in turn reduces the risk of muscular injuries and cramps.

Bellingham explained his motivation, saying: "The socks were too tight, so it was causing pressure on my calves. Just to release my calves or release the tension.

"I just cut holes in them and all of a sudden I had a few alright games, and I was like, 'Okay, I'm keeping this now!'"

However, it is believed that La Liga are not too serious about enforcing this rule.
