Why Bale played for Real Madrid with two holes in his socks
It has been revealed why Gareth Bacle played with holes in his socked in last Saturday's 7-1 victory over Celta Vigo.
No, it's not a new fashion trend... instead it's Bale's new attempt to prevent any further injuries to himself.
This season the Real Madrid player has suffered from ongoing calve problems, however, he has found an ingenious way to avoid any further injuries.
The two holes, one in each sock, are designed to ease the compression pressure from the socks to his muscles.
Good luck Bale!
