Cristiano Ronaldo has made some notable memories on the field. The Portuguese talisman provided fans with some thrilling moments throughout his career. However, his actions during the 2020 Euro Cup are still fresh amongst his fans. During a presser, Cristiano removed Coca-Cola bottles from the table replacing them with water bottles, asking fans to drink water instead.

His actions during the press conference had massive ripple effects, a Coca-Cola suffered a massive $4 billion dip in its economic value. Now 26 months after his actions, it seems like Norwegian golfer Victor Hovland channeled his inner Cristiano Ronaldo, snubbing the beverage in his own way.
