An Olivier Giroud hat-trick helped AC Milan demolish already-relegated Sampdoria 5-1 in Serie A on Saturday, earning Stefano Pioli's side a much needed morale boost.

"It was good to let go of the disappointment suffered with the elimination from the Champions League," Pioli told Sky Sport. "We played a good match, scoring many goals. It can only do us good."

But Sampdoria managed to level shortly after through forward Fabio Quagliarella, who ended his longest run without a goal in Serie A after he had failed to find the net in his previous 20 games. Milan kept the pressure on after the break as they sought to increase the lead and Giroud was close to completing a hat-trick but Ravaglia showed great reflexes when he saved his close-range header.

Milan travel to Juventus on May 28 before they end the season with a home game against lowly Hellas Verona the following weekend.
