AC Milan fumbled a 3-1 lead on Saturday and only settled for a 3-3 tie against Salernitana in their last Serie A fixture this season, as coach Stefano Pioli and hitman Olivier Giroud said goodbye to San Siro after the game.

The Rossoneri had announced that Pioli would leave the club in the summer while Giroud is also heading for a new chapter in Major League Soccer's side Los Angeles FC.
The home side went ahead in the 22nd minute when Salernitana goalkeeper Vincenzo Fiorillo's howler allowed Rafael Leao to deposit it into an empty net.
Milan doubled the lead five minutes later when Alessandro Florenzi's corner set up Giroud to sweep home.
Simy got one goal back for the away side in the 63rd minute while Davide Calabria's header on Christian Pulisic's cross helped Milan restore a two-goal cushion.
However, Salernitana ran riots in the dying minutes as Junior Sambia's low strike and Simy's follow-up allowed them to wrap up one point.
Elsewhere, Juventus ended their season with a 2-0 victory over Monza as Federico Chiesa and Alex Sandro's goals in quick succession helped the Bianconeri seal the win.
