And Monaco were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw and just a point.
Ranieri was quick to point to an absence of luck to explain the blank scoresheet, but the Italian also admitted his side waited too long before really turning it on.
"In the second half, we created many chances, but could have done with a bit more luck to score", said Ranieri.
"The opposition defended very well.
"Certainly on our part there were mistakes. We waited too long to start playing."
Despite the draw, Monaco stay top of Ligue 2.
