Image of Ronaldo drinking soft drink goes viral

Social media exploded after a clip appeared showing the moment Cristiano Ronaldo took a can of soda from Joao Felix's hand and drank it right before walking out of the tunnel.

Ronaldo's controversial moment.

Just a few short seconds but enough to stir up controversy, because this action is completely contrary to the statement that caused a stir at Euro 2020. At that time, Ronaldo had strongly pushed two bottles of soft drinks off the press conference table and advised everyone: "Just water".

This moment is said to have occurred in Portugal's 0-2 defeat to the Republic of Ireland in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe on November 14. In this match, the former MU striker elbowed his opponent and was sent off the field.

The contrast between the 2021 image and the leaked moment has shaken the online community. Many people were surprised, even shocked, because the Portuguese superstar had become an icon of a healthy lifestyle, creating a huge media effect that caused the beverage company's stock to drop at that time. Now, the scene of him holding a can of soda has caused a whole new debate.

Ronaldo once pushed aside two bottles of soft drink, advising everyone to drink water.

Some fans said that this was just a normal moment in life and should not be exaggerated. They emphasized that even top athletes sometimes break the rules, and that a sip of soda cannot erase the message of scientific living that he has pursued for many years.

However, another group believes that this contrast makes CR7's image inconsistent, because his influence on young people is extremely large.

It is not yet clear whether this is a cut and paste product or not. However, the incident still caused strong controversy on social networks. The clip of Ronaldo drinking soft drinks soon surpassed the million view mark just a few hours after being posted on the X platform.
