Real Madrid defender Gabriel Heinze said on Wednesday that he and his teammates all shared the blame for their side's humiliating exit from the Champions League. Real Madrid were beaten 0-4 by Liverpool in Anfield on Tuesday night, crashing out of the Champions League by a 0-5 aggregate.

It is the fifth consecutive year that Real Madrid has not qualified for the quarter-finals of Europe's most important competition and the team's performance has brought a rain of criticism on both club President Vicente Boluda and the players. "This is football. Nobody escapes here," said Heinze, who thought the blame should be shared equally.
"There are no heroes or villains, because we are all knocked out. We are a group of people and I cannot accept the use of the word 'villain.' We lost and all of us lost. When we win, we all win," he said on the club's official website.
Real Madrid were knocked out of the King's Cup by third tier side Real Union and their European exit means the club now has to focus all of its energy on winning the Primera Liga.
