But as the 36-year-old sat down in front of the media he noticed Coca Cola bottles in front of him.
Despite being one of the tournament's major sponsors, Ronaldo opted to make a point and move the bottles.
He then shouted: "Drink water".
Ronaldo, known for his dedication and longevity at the top of the sport, clearly wasn't impressed with the advertisement placement.

This prompted a wide range of responses on social media with many laughing at the moment.
Fans also praised the Portuguese captain for the healthy message and being a consummate professional.
This included legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady who joked: "It's almost like the veterans know what they're doing..."
Cristiano Ronaldo was angry because they put Coca Cola in front of him at the Portugal press conference, instead of water! 😂
He moved them and said "Drink water"

I do love a cold coke. Maybe that’s one reason why Ronaldo is GOAT and I am sat on my couch watching #EURO2020 😂

Pretty sure Santos was about to drink the coke as he thought Ronaldo would do so
Awkward😭🤣 pic.twitter.com/4Dwv6JAnqm— Los blancos (@notoriousw7) June 15, 2021
The irony that Cristiano Ronaldo moving the Coke bottles out of frame (for whatever reason) is still free marketing for Coke with millions of people engaging with the brand. Still a hilarious moment
