Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday took a dig at Coca Cola bottles during a press conference and his move cost the beverages company $4 billion the next day.
A video circulating on social media shows, the star athlete removed the two bottles of Coca Cola set before him on the table for advertisement when he reached to address a press conference ahead of Portugal’s match against Hungary in the ongoing the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship.
While moving the bottles of soft drink aside, he waved a bottle of water and asked people to drink water instead of Coca Cola.
