No less than 48 hours after Cristiano Ronaldo put away two bottles of Coca-Cola drinks placed in front of him during a press conference at the ongoing European Championship, Paul Pogba has done the same.
The French midfielder took off a bottle of Heineken placed in front of him during France’s post-match conference in Munich.
Paul Pogba before attending to questions from journalists removed the bottle of Heineken on the table and placed it underneath.
Pogba’s action just like Ronaldos has attracted reactions on social media especially Twitter.

It's very stupid, people should stop justifying that rubbish.
These brands are major sponsors of the tournament, you can't keep disrespecting them like that. https://t.co/ib7CbejU1M

People PRAISING Ronaldo for removing a bottle of coke from press conference & celebrating water
People HATING on Pogba for removing a bottle of Heineken (non-alcoholic as it turns out but he didn’t know) because alcohol is against his faith
Racism 2.0

Saying pogba is a Muslim and doesn't do alcohol is why he removed that Heineken is silly.

Pail Pogba was named the Man of the Match in France’s 1-0 over Germany in their Group F Euro2020 opener in Munich. However, his action at the post-match conference appeared to have overshadowed his performance and accolade.
