Earlier this week, La Furia Roja's record appearance-maker officially returned to Sevilla's Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium 18 years after departing the club for Real Madrid.
While many would have presumed that the club's supporters would have appreciated such an iconic figure making his way back to his boyhood club, some Sevillistas are not pleased with their team's latest signing.
Sevilla's ultras, known as Biris Norte, have criticised the club for signing the 37-year-old, citing his constant antagonising of the club's supporters when he was a Madridista as the main issue.
"As an ultra group of Sevilla FC for almost 50 years, we want to express our rejection of those who proposed this transfer," the group said in an official statement.
"We are not motivated by hatred or rancour, but by love and pride for our club, its history and its fans.
"We believe that the mere proposal of this signing was already a lack of respect for the values that have made us great, for the symbols and legends that have defended our crest, and for the thousands of Sevillistas who have suffered the scorn of this player in the past.
"We think that this signing benefits more the interests of some managers who neither understand nor comprehend what makes Sevilla FC great and who only look after their personal and/or economic interests.

"We are not like them and we will always be on the side of Sevilla FC, but not of those who tarnish it with their decisions."
