‘Drink water!’ Anti-fizzy drink fanatic Cristiano Ronaldo pointedly REMOVES Euro 2020 official sponsor’s Coca-Cola bottles in front of him at press conference

Cristiano Ronaldo was in no mood to pander to sponsors as he removed two bottles of Coca-Cola placed in front of him at a Euro 2020 press conference last night.

The health-obsessed 36-year-old – who has previously revealed that it irritates him when his son drinks fizzy drinks – moved the two bottles away from his chair before shouting in Portuguese: ‘Drink water!’

He then brandished a water bottle and placed it in front of himself for the remainder of the interview, muttering ‘Coca-Cola’ with noticeable disdain.

Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers to have ever played the game, is notoriously fastidious about his diet and exercise regime.

His laser focus on fitness and well-being has has allowed him to continue playing at an elite level well into his 30s when many players retire. The Portuguese has previously revealed that his diet consists of six mini-meals spread throughout the day, featuring plenty of fruit, vegetables, and clean protein such as fish or chicken cooked without oil.

His favourite dish is a Portuguese classic called Bacalhau à Brás that consists of layers of cod, onions, thinly sliced potatoes and black olives on top of eggs.
