PSG football advisor BANS Neymar, Mbappe, Messi and rest of squad from drinking Coca Cola and Ice Tea
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have BANNED their squad from drinking Coca Cola and Ice Tea.
New football advisor Luis Campos made the decision to employ a nutritionist for the squad as one of his first major moves at the club.
And according to The Mail, the dietary plan put in place for the team means they are now not allowed to consume soft drinks or ice tea during meal times.
The decision has been made despite PSG holding a sponsorship deal with Coca Cola until 2024.
Remarkably, PSG did not have a nutritionist before this season.
So superstars Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar will now have to deal without fizzy drinks.

The soft drink ban encompasses all meals which the players consume together.
Recently, it was revealed that a measure put in by new manager Christophe Galtier is that the squad will eat breakfast and lunch as a team.
These are rules being put in place to try and turn the club’s fortunes around in Europe.
They continue to chase their first Champions League trophy – a goal which managers Carlo Ancelotti, Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino all failed to achieve.
