MILAN -French forward Olivier Giroud scored two goals and created another as AC Milan crushed Salzburg 4-0 on Wednesday to reach the Champions League knockout stages for the first time since 2013-14.

A solo goal from Junior Messias in stoppage time capped an excellent night for Milan who secured second spot in Group E behind England's Chelsea. Salzburg will go into the Europa League after finishing third. Right from the off in their famous San Siro stadium, Milan never looked in danger of missing out again as, moments after Theo Hernandez had rattled the post, Giroud headed home Sandro Tonali's corner.
