Claudio Ranieri targets Monaco win at Bastia

Claudio Ranieri says that Monaco are taking the Ligue 1 campaign one game at a time ahead of their match with Bastia on Wednesday.

Monaco coach Claudio Ranieri has insisted that his side are not getting carried away despite sitting at the top of the Ligue 1 table.

The Monte Carlo outfit spent over £130m during the summer transfer window and maintained their position at the head of the division following Sunday's 1-1 draw at champions Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Ranieri is adamant that Monaco are only focused on getting a win against Bastia on Wednesday night.

"We are taking each game one by one and obviously we will try to get a result against Bastia," Ranieri told reporters. "This game in Ligue 1 is vital for us and we can stay top with a win.

"It is very important for us to keep up our good form. Now the big decision for me is to choose the best lineup for Wednesday so I can get a win.

"The season is very long and the title is not won after just a few games. For us each game is a discovery."

Monaco host Bastia at Stade Louis II on Wednesday.
