Santiago Solari believes Real Madrid's 4-0 win over Melilla proves there is nothing wrong with their commitment. Madrid began life after Julen Lopetegui with a comfortable 4-0 win at third tier Melilla in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey fourth round on Wednesday. Madrid dispensed of the former Spain manager after a humiliating El Clasico defeat at the weekend, with Solari taking temporary charge.
Solari, who played for the club between 2000-2005, watched on as Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Alvaro Odriozola and Cristo Gonzalez goals downed the Segunda B outfit, with the second leg at the Bernabeu still to come. This was always going to be a nice way for Solari to ease into things as he begins a caretaker spell which is not expected to last much longer than two weeks as Madrid plot their next move.
