Ronaldo promoting water
Just this week, Ronaldo had caused Coca-Cola to lose $4 billion that marks his exemplary star power. The gesture of Cristiano Ronaldo moving the Euro’s 2020 sponsored Coca-Cola drinks from the press conference has reportedly cost the company a loss of $4 billion.
Cristiano Ronaldo, ahead of representing his country at the group-stage match against Hungary, removed the two bottles of Coca-Cola and replaced them with water bottles. His gesture reportedly caused the $4bn fall in the share price of Coca-Cola.

The football star then moved forward by holding a water bottle and saying “Agua(water)”. The share price of Coca-Cola fell from $56.10 to $55.22 after a 30-minute long press conference of Ronaldo promoting drinking water instead of fizzy drinks.
The video of Cristiano Ronaldo replacing the Coca-Cola bottles with water went viral on social media creating an online controversy. On Tuesday, Coca-Cola released a statement on the issue in which it said that “everyone is entitled to their drink preferences” with different “tastes and needs”.
