Paul Pogba removes a Heineken beer bottle at Euro 2020 press conference as devout Muslim becomes latest star to snub a competition sponsor following Cristiano Ronaldo's anti-fizzy drinks stance

Paul Pogba is the latest footballer to be in mood to pander to sponsors after the Frenchman removed a bottle of Heineken placed in front of him at a Euro 2020 press conference.

Pogba, a devout Muslim, was seen moving the beer bottle away from his eyesight as he undertook media obligations following France's opening game victory over Germany on Tuesday night

For Muslims, alcohol is 'haraam' or forbidden, with the Manchester United star's removal of the bottle likely to be due to his unwillingness to endorse the competition's sponsor.

U dey mind dem... Heineken is a major sponsor of the Champions League which they all want to play in. U'll collect benefits and bonuses from sponsors u don't subscribe to becos of ur religion but won't want to be identified with dem

But their money sponsors their lavish lifestyles and jumbo salaries. If I were these companies I'll sue the organisers. The drinks are on the table becos they are sponsors of the competition and as such are supposed to enjoy the advertising that comes with sponsoring the tournament all the players and countries want to win. No one is asking any one of d players to drink or touch any of the drinks or even pose with a photograph with the bottles
