The coach of the Russian national football team Stanislav Cherchesov is not bothered about Cristiano Ronaldo’s message as he drank a bottle of Coca-Cola at the Euro 2020 press conference.

Ronaldo had, during a press conference, put away two bottles of Coke he found on the desk and then told the world to ‘drink water’.

The action ripped $4billion off the product’s market value after Ronaldo’s press conference after helping his side to a 3-0 win over Hungary.

But the manager of the Russian side, Cherchesov, was not moved by the actions of the Juventus striker when he was presented to the media moments after their 1-0 victory over Finland.

The ex-goalkeeper picked up a bottle of Coke that had been placed next to his microphone, opened it and took several sips as he toasted Aleksei Miranchuk’s matchwinner.

Ronaldo earlier removed two bottles of the fizzy drink from the desk in front of him during his pre-match press conference ahead of their opening game win.

Coca-Cola's share price promptly dropped from $56.10 (£39.80) to $55.22 (£39.19).

A UEFA spokesperson added via SunSport:

“Players are offered water, alongside Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, on arrival at our press conferences.”

Meanwhile, French midfielder Paul Pogba has stated that he has forgiven his friend Antonio Rudiger following their near half-time face-off during France vs Germany Euro 2020 clash, The Athletic reports.

The Chelsea defender had a clash with the Manchester United star in an incident which generated a lot of controversy.

According to Pogba, he has already forgiven his friend for nibbling his back as he does not want him to get suspended during the clash on Tuesday night, June 15.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Italy have booked their spot in the Euro 2020 round of 16 following their 3-0 triumph over Switzerland at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Two goals from Sassuolo star Manuel Locatelli and one from Ciro Immobile gave the Azzurri's their second consecutive triumph in the continental championship this summer.

This victory propels Roberto Mancini's men to the summit of Group A with six points after their first two games.
