Dubey said that usually sportspersons do not consume beverages and this was reflected in Ronaldo’s actions as he removed the Coca-Cola bottles and picked the water bottle.
It appeared as if he was suggesting that people should keep away from carbonated soft drinks and instead drink water.
Soon after this, the Coca-Cola shared dropped by almost 1.5 per cent, Dubey said. This translates to a loss of USD 4 billion in the share price of Coca-Cola, Dubey said.
The company later issued a statement saying that “everyone is entitled to their drink preferences” as people have different “tastes and needs”.

He was not alone to do this as a French footballer Paul Pogba who also plays for Manchester United did something similar. Pogba also removed non-alcoholic Heineken NV beer bottles and took a water bottle.
He said that it is an indication that sportspersons are asking people to be away from cold drinks and are promoting water.
He also gave the example of Indian cricketer Virat Kohli who refused to endorse Pepsi in 2017.
Coca-Cola is one of the sponsors of the Euro 2020 tournament.
