UEFA warns football stars not to repeat Cristiano Ronaldo’s action at press conferences, threatens penalty

Euros stars have been told to STOP moving sponsors’ drinks in press conferences – or risk their team getting fined.

Cristiano Ronaldo started the trend when he put a pair of Coca-Cola bottles out of the way on Monday.

But Euro 2020 tournament director Martin Kallen revealed Uefa has ‘communicated with the teams regarding this matter’ and disciplinary action may be taken.

He said: “It is important because the revenues of the sponsors are important for the tournament and for European football.

“We are never fining players directly from the Uefa side, we will do this always through the participating national association and then they could look if they will go further to the player, but we are not going directly for the moment to the player.”
