At least one water brand was paying attention when Cristiano Ronaldo removed two Coca-Cola bottles that had been placed in front of him at a press conference and instead held up a bottle of water shouting "agua" in Portuguese.
"Couldn't have said it better ourselves!" Evian tweeted, along with a clip of the incident that occurred at a Monday Euro 2020 press event.

The Portugal and Juventus star’s avoidance of the soda, according to ESPN. .
The World Health Organization also backed Ronaldo in a tweet on Thursday, using his move as a way to educate Twitter followers about how to stay healthy and fit.
Stay fit & healthy like �� by reducing sugar consumption and limiting intake of sweets & sugary drinks.

There is more you can do ��
Ronaldo’s action may have inspired other players to express their opinion about brand placements at pressers. On Tuesday, France and Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba removed a bottle of Heineken 0.0 non-alcoholic beer that had been placed in front of him. For Pogba, a Muslim, alcohol is forbidden.
