Claudio Ranieri: 'Leicester City respect Club Brugge'

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri says that his side will not be complacent when they face Club Brugge in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has said that his team "respect" Club Brugge, despite their Champions League opponents failing to gain a point from four group games.

Brugge look likely to finish at the bottom of Group G after a dismal campaign, while Leicester are just a point away from sealing their place in the last 16 of the competition.

However, Ranieri has called on his team to avoid any complacency as they look for a win that could also boost morale ahead of their return to Premier League action at the weekend.

The Italian told reporters: "I respect Club Brugge a lot and I can't believe they're on zero points. They play well and create good chances - it's strange.

"Now we have the chance to go through in the Champions League. It's another fantastic achievement for the club. Our focus is to now try to win tomorrow and then go back to the Premier League and try to improve our table."

In the reverse fixture in Belgium, Leicester ran out 3-0 winners.
