Paul Pogba is the latest footballer to take a dig at UEFA Euro 2020 sponsors after the Frenchman removed a bottle of Heineken placed in front of him at a Euro 2020 press conference on Tuesday night.

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 in Munich. 

Pogba's stance comes after Cristiano Ronaldo removed two bottles of Coca-Cola placed in front of him prior to Portugal's game against Hungary.

36-year-old Ronaldo moved the two bottles away from his chair before shouting in Portuguese: 'Drink water!'

He then brandished a water bottle and placed it in front of himself for the remainder of the interview.

For Pogba, he is a devout Muslim and subsequently does not drink alcohol.

It remains to be seen whether Heineken will respond to Pogba's removal of their product from his post-match press conference. In response to Ronaldo's move, Coca-Cola said that 'everyone is entitled to their drink preferences'.
