FRANCE ace Paul Pogba mirrored Cristiano Ronaldo's Coca-Cola snub by removing a Heineken beer bottle during his press conference.
The devout Muslim moved the beverage from the table in front of him following France's 1-0 win against Germany on Tuesday night.
Pogba, who made a religious pilgrimage to Mecca along with Kurt Zouma in 2018, refused to endorse one of Euro 2020's official sponsors as alcohol is forbidden for Muslims.
The 28-year-old has become the latest star to take a stance against the Euro's sponsors after Ronaldo removed two bottles of Coca-Cola placed in front of him.
Fans were left disgusted with tournament staff as they suggested the Manchester United midfielder moved the alcohol-free beer bottle due to his faith.
