The brand Coca-Cola shares an old relationship with football…

The Coca-Cola company is one of the world’s largest multinational beverage corporations which has a long history of association with football. The company is an official partner of the FIFA World Cup, various leagues in England including the Premier League and also sponsors several UEFA competitions like the European Championship.

There was a lot of buzz around the brand Coca-Cola during the Euro 2020 due to an incident involving Portugal captain and superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo removing the bottles of Coca-Cola placed in front of him during a press conference is still fresh in the minds of fans.

It so happened that in a pre-match press conference during Euro 2020, Cristiano Ronaldo removed two Coca-Cola bottles from the table in front of him before holding up a bottle of water to the room. He declared that people should drink water instead.

He said the word ‘Agua’ which means water in Portuguese and shunned the two "Coca-Cola" bottles in a cynical manner. The brand was an official sponsor of the tournament.

Everybody is aware of the Manchester United star’s healthy lifestyle and he is an inspiration for people and other sportsperson across the world.

The Manchester United star is renowned for being one of the most athletic players in football history and there is no player in world football that has drawn more plaudits for his physical qualities and dedication to his craft than Ronaldo.

The star player boasts an extraordinary set of athletic skills, combining rapid pace and agility with elite aerial ability and power. Ronaldo was not the same at the start of his career when he arrived at Old Trafford in 2003 but with dedication, discipline and extreme hard work - which includes rigorous training, following a strict diet regime both during and off the season - the Portuguese achieved prime physical fitness.

Several mineral water brands across Europe took the opportunity to promote their respective brands, sharing the video of Ronaldo and advising their customers to choose water over soft drinks.

Even World Health Organisation (WHO) jumped on the wagon and backed Ronaldo for choosing water as the main source of hydration.

While Cristiano Ronaldo clearly does not like fizzy drinks, there are several footballers who absolutely loves carbonated drinks. In fact, Ronaldo’s on-field rival Lionel Messi was addicted to soft drinks during his teenage years at Barcelona.

It took current Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola to make a stop to Messi’s habit through some strict measures during his time at La Masia. Vending machines of the carbonated drink was removed from the training arena so as to protect the academy’s prized possession.

Even during the Euro 2020, players like Granit Xhaka, Andriy Yarmolenko and Leonardo Bonucci were seen celebrating with a bottle of Coca-Cola after their matches.

Not just football players, several other sportpersons also love carbonated drinks, especially Coca-Cola. This is primarily due to the caffeine which makes the drink irresistible. While it’s high sugar content and calories can be harmful, drinking in smaller quantities does not significantly affect the performance of athletes.

Ronaldo has had deals with KFC and coca cola in the past but he doesn't care about sponsorship LMAO.



It is not surprising how the renowned phone smasher keeps deceiving his gullible fans. Considering the fact that they have little or nothing to celebrate these days, another trophyless campaign,a possible adventure to the Europa conference league. It is quite understandable that they would seek solace in something as stupid as this.

This odebet too mumu, show me a picture of messi drinking coca cola. Messi is with pepsi since day one due to the fact that he reps them
You're just somehow stupid op. I swear to God Messi no sabi you.
Now your Ronaldo is going trophy less

Focus on that Norwich man. When he start playing conference league against gazal fc of Jerusalem.
Big time fraud, always running away once he meet quality side

Karma bxxxh

It's funny how people expect fizzy drinks to improve their performance.

Messi thinks Coca Cola will make him score.
You are who you are.

Bashorun learnt it the hard way, he lay on the bed after downing 3 cans of Monster Energy drink, 4 cans of Black bullet and a small bottle of Alomo Bitters mixed with a sachet of Squadron while his new catch Sherifat was in the hotel bathroom freshening up.

By the time she tapped him to wake up, it was 11:40am the next day and she was fully dressed to leave.

Baba paid for TDB, hotel room and other sundry charges without even seeing bra.

Rubbish assertion

Upon how popular Coca cola is, they are still spending heavily on advert, very clever move

Ronaldo fans...abeg make una talk truth...dis one join banter?

Omo there are levels to witchcraft, because this is no longer obsession. Do you even live with Ronaldo to know what he takes or doesn't take? This is no longer hatred but witchcraft.

Brand Management @topnotch quality.

@Seniorwriter

Wow see comparative argument � joblessness in this country is getting to alarming stage ..I blame our politicians sha

Let the fight begin

I know this handle has nothing good to write. Lemme read and come back for him/her.


I was not disappointed, one of the most useless post to hit FP. I see no correlation between the current reality and this nonsense.

How many trophy has the water won Ronaldo since his declaration?

Seun needs to see to this moderator, he/she is misusing the power given to shim.

Messi scoring a league winning goal has refused to hit front page till date while ronaldo scoring a goal in his team 3-1 loss had two threads on FP.

I am yet to understand the message behind this post. Must u use MESSI to fly every Ronaldo topic? what manner of obsession is this?

Ronaldo is a legend

Wetin Messi do you Obembet?

Abeg make una leave these legends to rest.

Who exactly?
