ROME – Luis Muriel’s penalty gave Sampdoria a shock 1-0 win over AC Milan 1-0 on Sunday to compound the Rossoneri’s hopes of a return to European football. More importantly, Milan sit 10 points behind Roma in the third and last Champions League qualifying spot. AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella had raised hopes this season that the seven-time European champions could battle for a Champions League spot. Milan striker Carlos Bacca had desperate penalty appeals waved away when he tumbled after a nudge by Matias Silvestre in the area. Muriel sent goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma the wrong way to give Samp a 70th minute lead.
