MILAN (Reuters) - AC Milan's hopes of ending a three-season absence from the Champions League suffered a severe setback on Saturday when they lost 2-1 at home to Napoli, one of their rivals for qualification.

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma nearly equalised with a stoppage-time header, which his opposite number saved, but Milan had left themselves too much to do after Lorenzo Insigne and Jose Callejon scored in the first 10 minutes for the visitors.
