However, playing Tottenham or Shakhtar Donetsk, it would have been the same for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Real Madrid beat the English side, and Barcelona get past Shakhtar, a Clasico semi-final will ensue, but the coach kept thoughts focused on Saturday&#8217;s derby game with Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would have been better if the derby was on Sunday,&#8221; he said, while hinting Cristiano Ronaldo may not feature in the encounter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He played 70 minutes against Lyon, and it would have been better to play on Sunday. He won&#8217;t be in the best condition, and it could be risky to play him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have to consider he will be playing for Portugal, and so the medics will decide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mourinho also heaped praise on Karim Benzema, who is showing some good goalscoring form at the right time of the season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a big pleasure seeing Benzema playing as he is at the moment,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As for Atletico, there are no favourites in the derby. We will give all we can against them and we will see what happens.
