I think there's more than CR's injury than just being a smokescreen, you could tell from the way he was playing in the derby...
He really needs to be careful though, especially with the way he plays the game, if he doesn't get the proper rest, those hamstring injuries could really cripple him in the long term...

What about him? His current role on a godawful Boca side is as sub who once scored a goal. He's a 19 year old prospect, I heard good things about his U-20 performances but he's not particularly hyped up as far as I know, even on a Boca side desperate for all the help it can get.

José has requested (through the club, obv.) that the LFP move the Lliga tie before the Spurs CL game to a Friday, giving Madrid an extra days rest. this got me thinking.
Hypothesis:
José Mourinho cannot with the Champions League without his team having had more rest than their opponents.
Proof:
the FPF reschedule Porto games for either the Friday before CL ties (giving Porto an extra days rest) or another weekend entirely (giving Porto a week to 10 days rest) - and then Porto win the Champions League.
the FA do not reschedule any Chelsea games - and then Chelsea do not win the Champions League.
the FIGC reschedule Inter games for the Friday before CL ties (giving Inter an extra days rest), and the volcanic ash cloud forces Barcelona to travel to Milan by coach (giving Inter an extra couple of days rest) - and then Inter win the Champions League. in the previous season, Inter gained no extra rest and did not win the Champions League.
Conclusion:
José Mourinho, while a fantastic manager and one of the World's Finest, is overrated and reliant on the assistance of friendly governing bodies to prosper on the highest stage. his propaganda committee (of which he is Chairman) are absolutely brilliant at their job. he is the Apple of Football.

L'OM and Inter both had an extra day rest.. happen all the time and normally FA's give extra hand to their clubs
If i remember correctly also Lyon had an extra day rest and played on Friday before our first leg
