A day after Portugal's popular football star Cristiano Ronaldo removed Coca-Cola bottles during the pre-match press conference ahead of the Hungary showdown, France's Paul Pogba did something similar at the post-match press conference after the Germany clash.

Following a win over Germany 1-0 in their opening Euro 2020 match on Tuesday, one of Manchester United's most popular and considered among the finest midfielders in the world, Pogba spotted a Heineken beer bottle placed on the table in front of him.

He soon picked up the Heineken beer bottle and placed it under the table, however, he did not pick up the few Coca-Cola bottles as he had no problem with the aerated soft drinks.

The French midfielder is devout Muslim and refrains himself from consuming and even endorsing alcoholic products. This is the second time a player has displayed such a gesture towards a sponsor of the tournament.
