Milan: Sampdoria became the only team to beat Juventus twice in the league under Antonio Conte as they secured a 3-2 victory over the newly-crowned Serie A champion on Saturday. Eder, Lorenzo De Silvestri and Mauro Icardi helped Sampdoria come from behind after Fabio Quagliarella had scored against his old team.
Emanuele Giaccherini reduced the deficit in stoppage time. Juventus striker Nicklas Bendtner fractured his wrist in the game and will have an operation on Sunday.
"I want to say a great thanks to these lads who have done something amazing in these two years," Conte said. "There's a bit of a bad taste but it was a nice night. It's a pity only for the 100th injury of Bendtner who really had an unlucky season. We should only continue to thanks these lads for their extraordinary achievements. It's disrespectful towards them to talk about the transfer market today. From tomorrow the club with start evaluating things."
