Players 2 Sponsors 0: Devout Muslim Paul Pogba removes Heineken bottle during Euros press conference following Ronaldo's Coca-Cola outburst which sparked false claims he cost the firm $4billion

Paul Pogba has removed a bottle of Heineken placed in font of him at a Euros press conference - a day after Cristiano Ronaldo did the same with bottles of Coke.

The Frenchman, a devout Muslim, hid the sponsor's beer bottle underneath a table as he spoke to the media after his country's 1-0 win over Germany on Tuesday night.

While 28-year-old Pogba offered no explanation for removing the bottle, it is likely because his religion considers alcohol 'haram' - or forbidden.

The stunt echoes Ronaldo's move a day earlier when he removed two bottles of Coca-Cola from a Euros press conference, telling fans to 'drink water' instead.
