He then got a jug of water – saying, “Water!”, urging people to drink water instead. Now, France striker Paul Pogba has also followed suit by doing something comparable. This time, it was Heineken.
After France’s 1-0 win against Germany on Tuesday, Pogba, who was named man of the match, was going to address the press. Within a sparkle of an eye, Pogba eliminated a container of non-alcoholic Heineken brew that was set before him.

Meanwhile, Coca-Cola said it would not be commenting on Ronaldo’s evacuation of the containers. UEFA has additionally given a statement about all these commotion.
