Cristiano Ronaldo was left surprised at the Euro 2020 tournament after being asked to show his ID by a security guard. The Portugal captain, 36, is widely regarded as one of the world's greatest footballers, which is why footage of the incident quickly went viral when it was tweeted by <a href="https://twitter.com/ballsdotie/status/1404831924829425667" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Balls.ie</a>. It was captioned: "Fair play to the Hungarian security staff for double-checking that Cristiano Ronaldo had permission to attend today's game."

Ahead of his first game, the Portugal captain sat in front of the media, only to realize that there were Coca-Cola bottles in front of him, which prompted him to shout "Agua!", which is Portuguese for water. Watch the moment Ronaldo swaps Coke for water below:  [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JwTH5zPhGk]] However, his disdain for the drink was something he previously made clear when discussing the possibility that his son could follow in his sporting footsteps. Per <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/15/euros-2020-cristiano-ronaldo-removes-coke-bottles-from-interview-14773184/amp/">Metro</a>, he said at the Global Soccer Awards ceremony: "We'll see if my son will become a great footballer. Sometimes he drinks Coca-cola and eats crisps and it irritates me, he knows that. "Sometimes I tell my son to take a dip in cold water to recover after a run on the treadmill and he says, 'Dad, it's so cold there'. That's fine, he is only 10 years old."
