The German answered only four questions before making an abrupt exit after becoming angry over questions about the refereeing of Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez. Schuster's departure was met with sarcastic hand-clapping from the assembled media.

The post-match conference began: How did the referee of the game seem to you?
I will not speak about him.

What did you think of his performance? ... because, yes, you regularly talk about them…
No, always no. Today it does not interest me.

He does not interest you? The other day you said that you'd try to stop complaining about the referees.
By all means.

You know from where this referee comes from?
I do not know him. I do not have any information.

This is a lack of respect.

And with that final word from the journalist, Schuster stormed off.
