World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo stormed past reporters after tasting defeat for the fourth consecutive time against Germany as Portugal lost 4-0 in their opener.
The 29-year-old Portuguese captain played the full 90 minutes of the Group G clash despite recent injuries, but he was powerless to prevent his side being over-run as Germany's Thomas Mueller scored a hat-trick.
"Three players are down to talk to the media and I am not one of them," he said, brushing off requests for mixed zone interviews at Salvador's Arena Fonte Nova.
The Real Madrid star endured a subdued afternoon with five shots on goal as Portugal failed to make an impact on the German defence.
