"Valencia" forced a Muslim player to pose with a beer bottle (VIDEO)

"Valencia" defender Shkodran Mustafi found himself in a controversial situation.

Before yesterday's press conference, the footballer saw a beer bottle placed on the table and decided to take a sip.

However, this action did not sit well with the club's press representative, as the alcohol company had specifically ordered such an advertising campaign.

S.Mustafi, who insisted that due to his religion he cannot pose next to alcoholic beverages, had to swallow a bitter pill when the bottle was put back.

Discussions immediately sparked on social media - some internet users criticized the team, while others urged a more lenient view on similar ads, as these companies significantly contribute to players' salaries.
