Cristiano Ronaldo’s removal of two Coca-Cola bottles during a press conference has coincided with a $4bn fall in the share price of the soft drinks behemoth. The Portugal captain snubbed the drink ahead of his country’s Euros tie against Hungary. He then held up bottle of water, declaring: “Agua!” Coca-Cola’s share price dropped from $56.10 to $55.22 - a 1.6% dip. Its market value fell from $242bn to $238bn.
