Pepsi have apologised to Cristiano Ronaldo after posting photos of a voodoo doll depicting the Portuguese star on their Swedish Facebook page.
The photos did not go down well in Portugal, where a Facebook page titled “Nunca mais vou beber Pepsi” ("Never Drink Pepsi Again") was set up and currently has over 130,000 fans.
Of course, the voodoo didn't work, and the soft drinks giant has since apologised. From the Mirror:
"Football is known for the passion it inspires and the competition is getting more intense. We never wanted to give the sport a negative connotation.
"Sorry to all those who were offended by the posts. They were immediately removed.
"We also offer our most sincere and profound apologies to Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portuguese national side."
Seeing as they're one of Lionel Messi's sponsors, we'd be surprised if Ronaldo liked Pepsi anyway.
