Ranieri's men now travel to play Club Brugge in their first ever Champions League game on Wednesday and the Italian says the competition offers his side an opportunity to bounce back.  "We have to clear our minds for the next match," he told BBC Sport. "When we have lost in the past, we have always had a good reaction. Danny Simpson was forced to withdraw in the first half through injury and Ranieri said he will find out tomorrow if the defender will be fit enough to line up against Club Brugge.The Italian accepted Jurgen Klopp's men were worthy winners on the back of a dominant display at Anfield.  "Liverpool deserved to win," he told BT Sport. "It was their first match at home.We were waiting for this kind of football, very aggressive and with great spirit."We were OK for the first ten minutes until they scored a goal but after that we lost everything. "We are always compact, reactive, but we lost the first ball, the second ball. They were unstoppable today."</blockquote>
