It's Friday the 13th and many players have their superstitions so that nothing bad happens to them. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo likes to start last and jump onto the field with his right foot to avoid injury; When Iker Casillas made a save he made a groove with his left leg, he also touched the crossbar with his left hand when his club scored and cut the sleeves of his shirt; David Beckham, on the other hand, on match days, used to arrange the products in pairs in his refrigerator.
There are many superstitions in football, and when it is Friday the 13th, many players choose not to play, as they say there is a high probability of getting injured. Furthermore, generally no player wants to be signed on Friday the 13th because it is assumed that he will not do well at the club. In the end, none of this is proven and it all comes down to how professional the player is.
In principle, Friday the 13th has a biblical origin, as shown by the Portal el Clarín: "Legend has it that on Friday the 13th Eve tempted Adam with the apple; that Solomon's Temple was razed; and that a confusion forced her to abandon the temple." construction of the Tower of Babel. They also say that on this day Jesus Christ was crucified", which is why this day is assumed and related to bad luck.
In itself, all cultures have a meaning for this number, for example: "The Babylonians designated their thirteenth month of leap years as 'unlucky crow,' and the Chinese called it 'calamitous lord.' In the Bible, the end of the world begins in the 13th chapter of the Apocalypse," published the aforementioned source. All these sayings and superstitions escalated to football and are the reason why many players take it as an unlucky day.

In short, all these types of things make football, like everyday life, afraid of Friday the 13th.
The ETHEO portal published a shocking story about what Real Madrid did to get out of a bad moment: "When Real Madrid moved to its new stadium in 1912, it went 5 years without winning any title. To break the “curse”, the club performed an unusual ritual to ward off bad omens, which was to bury a clove of garlic in the central circle of the field. It seems that this worked, since Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey that same season," published the aforementioned portal.
