Berbeda dibandingkan Barcelona yang kalah 0-2 dari Sevilla, Madrid melakoni leg pertama dengan kemenangan. Namun ini tetap membuat Solari waspada.
"Kalau Anda tidak konsentrasi, maka Anda akan menderita. Peluang kedua tim masih terbuka," ujar Solari seperti dikutip Marca.
"Cara kami bermain diperbarui pada setiap pertandingan, Anda harus punya energi untuk melakukan itu. Ini penting tapi secara keseluruhan kami puas dengan penampilan kami"
Di luar itu, Solari juga memuji penampilan Vinicius Junior yang terus berkembang. Dia berharap pemain asal Brasil itu bisa meneruskan kinerja yang baik.
"Dia sudah punya bakat sebelum gabung Real Madrid dan sekarang dia memperlihatkannya di tim utama," kata Solari.

Sergio Ramos admitted his famous 'Panenka' penalties may be numbered despite scoring another in Real Madrid's 4-2 win over Girona in the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarter-final.
Ramos chipped another spot-kick straight down the middle towards the end of the first half before grabbing a more conventional second goal as his side seized control of the tie.
But Ramos acknowledged that his popular tactic - a tribute to Czech Antonin Panenka who first used it in the 1976 European Championship final - might soon need a re-think.

"It's how I like to play and hopefully they will keep going in but I can't take it for granted," he said. "Keepers are staying on their feet for longer so maybe I'll have to put it to the side next time."
Ramos expressed satisfaction with his side's performance which followed their weekend win over Sevilla, but knows they were once again far from perfect after going behind to Antony Lozano's seventh minute strike.

Ramos added: "Of course, although it is a good result this evening we would have liked not to have conceded any goals.
"But at this stage of the competition there are no easy opponents. They created a couple of chances and scored two goals. It is still open and we have to finish the job in Girona."
Real's second straight win was underpinned by another impressive performance from full-back Alvaro Odriozola, who set up Lucas Vazquez's early equaliser and proved a threat throughout.
Odriozola said that he believes the team spirit remains intact despite a problematic current campaign for Santiago Solari's side.
He said: "The work of the team has always been there, we have always given one hundred per cent and that is the secret of football.
"The quality of the players is unquestionable and with desire we are capable of everything.
"On a personal level, I am increasingly confident and more integrated into the group. With time you begin to better understand the players and with this kind of quality it is easy."

tirto.id - Duel derbi Catalunya antara Girona vs Barcelona pada Liga Spanyol pekan ke-21 digelar Minggu (27/1/2019) pukul 22.15 WIB di Stadion Montilivi. Usai kalah pada leg pertama perempat final Copa del Rey, laga menjadi kesempatan bagi Blaugrana untuk bangkit dan meraih kemenangan. Hingga pekan ke-20 gelaran Liga Spanyol, Barcelona masih memuncaki klasemen sementara dengan raihan 46 angka. Barca sudah menang 14 kali, atau kemenangan terbanyak hingga kini di antara 20 klub oeserta La Liga. Namun menjelang laga ini, pasukan Ernesto Valverde kalah 2-0 di kandang Sevilla pada leg pertama perempatf inal Copa del Rey. Jesper Cillessen yang diturunkan sebagai penjaga gawang utama, kebobolan dua gol oleh Pablo Sarabia dan Wissam Ben Yedder. Meskipun timnya kalah, Valverde beralasan perlu merotasi pemainnya dan lebih menjaga peluang pada Liga Spanyol. " Tahun ini kami merotasi lebih banyak (pemain) karena kami pikir itu hal terbaik untuk dilakukan. Piala (Copa del Rey) itu penting tetapi jika sampai kehilangan poin di liga (Spanyol) itu lebih berbahaya, dan kami juga harus memikirkan Liga Champions," tutur Valverde dilansir Marca Jumat (25/1). Jelang berjumpa Girona, Barca mempunyai catatan selalu menang dalam tujuh laga terakhir di Liga Spanyol. Selain itu, Azulgrana juga mempunyai rekor selalu unggul atas lawan-lawannya pada babak pertama maupun akhir laga pada tujuh laga tersebut. Sedangkan Girona terpaut 22 angka di bawah Barcelona. Cristhian Stuani dan kawan-kawan mengumpulkan 24 poin hasil dari lima kemenangan, sembilan seri, dan enam kali kalah. Namun, hasil negatif juga diraih Blanquivermell pada perempat final Copa del Rey setelah kalah 4-2 di kandang Real Madrid. Menghadapi klub besar lagi macam Barcelona, tuan rumah sedikit diuntungkan karena akan tampil di depan publik sendiri. " Semuanya harus dilakukan dan segala sesuatu mungkin saja terjadi," ungkap kapten tim Àlex Granell dikutip akun Twitter resmi klub. Girona sendiri mempunyai catatan selalu bermain imbang dalam empat laga kandang terakhirnya di Liga Spanyol. Selain itu, tuan rumah rata-rata kebobolan 2,5 gol dalam empat pertemuan terakhir melawan Barcelona di semua ajang kompetisi.
Perkiraan Susunan Pemain Girona (3-4-3): Yassine Bounou; Bernardo Espinosa, Juanpe, Jonas Ramalho; Pedro Porro, Aleix Garcia, Pere Pons, Marc Muniesa; Patrick Roberts, Cristhian Stuani, Borja Garcia Barcelona (4-3-3): Marc Andre ter Stegen; Nelson Semedo, Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Arturo Vidal; Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele Prediksi Pertandingan Sama-sama meraih hasil negatif di Copa del Rey, Barcelona diprediksi akan turun dengan komposisi pemain utama pada laga ini. Lionel Messi yang tidak dipasang pada pertandingan melawan Sevilla, kemungkinan akan kembali menjadi tumpuan Valverde untuk meramu strateginya. Sedangkan Girona juga ada kemungkinan untuk turun dengan pemain-pemain utamanya seperti penyerang Uruguay Cristhian Stuani yang sudah mengoleksi 12 gol pada Liga Spanyol 2018/2019.
