The loss of US $ 4,000 million in Coca-Cola stock market after Cristiano Ronaldo set aside two bottles

T

It was a brief movement: Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of the Portuguese soccer team that disputes Euro 2020, withdrew two bottles of Coca-Cola from the table where he was about to give a press conference.

"Water," he said, shaking the bottle in his hand. "No Coca-Cola."

The gesture, with which the soccer star gave the impression of inviting people to leave the soft drinks, occurred this Monday, during the conference that served as a preview of the match between Portugal and Hungary in Budapest in group F that the national team won on Tuesday Lusitana with two goals from the attacker.

And it coincided with a drop in the price of Coca-Cola shares, which fell from US $ 56.10 to US $ 55.22 immediately after the media recorded the comment of the forward of Juventus of Italy.

It was a 1.6% drop, which meant that the beverage giant's market value fell from $ 242 billion to $ 238 billion.
