Zlatan Ibrahimovic hopes the Malmo crowd sing his name on Wednesday despite aiming to fire Paris Saint-Germain into the Champions League last 16 at the expense of his boyhood club.

'A perfect scenario is that we win, I score three goals and everyone chants my name after the match,' a beaming Ibrahimovic told a media conference in his home town on Tuesday. 'But during the game, they should support Malmo.'

A win would see PSG secure qualification from Group A and severely damage what little hope Malmo, bottom on three points, have of securing third place in the group and qualifying for the Europa League.

It was with Malmo that Ibrahimovic made his breakthrough as a precociously gifted teenager, scoring 16 times in 40 appearances for the club before leaving to join Dutch side Ajax.

That departure signalled the beginning of a glittering career that saw him win league titles with Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan and PSG.

Wednesday's game marks the first time he has returned to Malmo to play a competitive game with a club side, and with tickets like gold dust, the 34-year-old has arranged for the game to be shown on a big screen in the city's main square, Stortorget.

'Turning Tolso', the city's tallest building, has had a blue Z lit up on top of the tower to mark Ibrahimovic's homecoming.

'When the draw was made, I called Malmo directly and said 'book Stortorget. I'll have it,'' he said.

'It took a while, but then they called back and said it was booked. I said 'good, I want everyone to have a chance to see the game.''

Ibra lamented the heavy security that prevented him from showing his team-mates around his home town, saying he'd like to show them the tough estate where he learned the skills that made him a household name.

'If I could, I would have taken them to Rosengard,' he said, with a broad smile. 'Show them how we play there.'

PSG are currently in second place in Group A on seven points, three behind Real Madrid. Malmo, currently bottom, and Shakhtar Donetsk both have three points.

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC IS ALREADY LIGHTING UP MALMO... Zaltan Ibrahimovic may want the Malmo fans to chant his name, despite playing for Paris Saint-Germain, but he may well get his wish judging by local reaction to his return.
