Watch Italy’s Leonardo Bonucci swig beer and Coca-Cola as he says ‘I’ll drink everything tonight’ after Euro 2020 win
ITALY defender Leonardo Bonucci swigged both beer and Coca-Cola after winning Euro 2020 and roared: “I’ll drink everything tonight.”
The 34-year-old, who scored the Azzuri’s equaliser in their win over England, was involved in many of the visitors’ celebrations at Wembley.
And Bonucci was in no mood to follow Juventus team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo when it came to enjoying Uefa’s sponsored drinks at the post-match press conference.
Portugal captain CR7 started a trend when he put a pair of Coca-Cola bottles out of the way and told those watching to ‘drink water’.
Ronaldo’s move whacked a staggering £2.84billion off the fizzy drink giant’s market value.

Italy star Manuel Locatelli later followed in the forward’s footsteps by getting rid of the Coke after a match with water put in its place.
But Bonucci, who was the hero of Italy’s Euro 2020 success, enjoyed both a fizzy drink and a beer after his team’s memorable triumph.
After swigging a heineken at the presser, the centre-back said: “I deserved this one didn’t I?”
Bonucci then picked up a Coke bottle and drank from it before stating: “I’ll drink everything tonight.”
His decision came after Uefa told players to STOP moving sponsors’ drinks in press conferences – or risk their team getting fined.
