If you’re a regular on social media, then you definitely know about the Cristiano Ronaldo memes which are doing the rounds for the last few days. At a press conference before his team Portugal’s Euro 2020 match, Ronaldo removed two bottles of Coca-Cola from the table in front of him and asked people to drink water instead.
This moment has sent the internet into a frenzy, with people from all over the world joining in the fun. Most made memes featuring Bollywood star Amrita Singh in the now-famous ‘jal lijiye’ scene where she offers water to her guests in the movie Vivah.

Portugal did win comfortably against Hungary to make a strong case for progress into the next round. Coca-Cola in one of the sponsors of the Euros this time.
