UEFA EURO 2020, Ukraine Footballer Takes Dig At Cristiano Ronaldo, Keeps Soft Drink And Beer Bottles Prominently On Table. Watch | Football News

Andriy Yarmolenko was in a funny mood after Ukraine’s 2-1 win against North Macedonia in their UEFA Euro 2020 Group C encounter, at Bucharest’s National Arena on Thursday. At his post-match press conference, the Ukrainian star took a dig at Cristiano Ronaldo in front of the media, by putting both Coca-Cola and Heineken bottles in front of him. Earlier this week, the Portugal captain had hit the headlines when he removed two bottles of Coca-Cola out of the camera’s sight during a press conference. The Portuguese skipper had also asked the reporters to drink water instead.

Yarmolenko scored a goal for the second consecutive game in Euro 2020, and also assisted against North Macedonia. He also scored in his side’s earlier 3-2 defeat to Netherlands. At his post-match press conference, the West Ham attacker cheekily mocked Ronaldo and even made an attempt to promote himself for potential sponsors.

“Coca-Cola and Heineken… please contact me!”

“Can I do something? I’ve seen Ronaldo putting away Coca-Cola bottles recently”, he asked the reporters.

He added, “I’ll put Coca-Cola here. I’ll put Heineken right here up front! Guys, contact me!”
