Solari is doing all he can to remain in charge at Real Madrid LaLiga Santander Passed his first Clasico test

Real Madrid's performance at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night was completely different from the one they turned in during Julen Lopetegui's last game, when they lost 5-1, and this reflects well on Santiago Solari.

While they couldn't hold onto the lead and while they haven't won anything yet, there was a sense of tactical order and this stalled Barcelona.

There is a coach with a plan and Los Blancos are in a good run of form, having won their five matches prior to the Copa del Rey first leg.

Tests against Atletico Madrid and Ajax are coming up and Solari isn't getting carried away, with his focus entirely on the derby.

Yet it's true that the Argentine has earned support at the club and is being backed because of the results, even if leaving Isco out has caused a stir.

The improvement of Karim Benzema, the minutes given to Vinicius and the use of Marcos Llorente and Sergio Reguilon have all been positives and this will do his chances of remaining in the post no harm.

A sense of belief has returned to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, with Solari doing all he can to continue in the job.
