MALMO Ultras have set fire to the club's statue of hero star Zlatan Ibrahimovic after he became co-owner of rivals Hammarby.
The superstar striker, 38, is aiming to make the Stockholm outfit Scandinavia's biggest team after buying a 50 per cent stake.
But his decision has been met with fury by some Malmo fans who have been left devastated by his move to their bitter rivals.
A giant statue of the striker was only installed by the club last month, but it has become the target of their anger.
Crowds gathered around to watch as several furious supporters poured lighter fluid and on it and used flares to set it alight.
After announcing his new venture, Ibrahimovic insisted that Malmo fans would be happy for him.
He said: "This has nothing to do with MFF. When it comes to the club, we talk about the footballer Zlatan. I think they in Malmo respect this.
"I have a good relationship with MFF and have had it all year. But this has nothing to do with me as a football player. I think those in Malmo are happy for me."
