The Egyptian striker stole the show with a hat-trick of headers for Barcelona.

Egyptian forward Hamza Abdelkarim delivered a commanding performance for Barcelona's Under-19 side, guided by coach Paul Planas, propelling the team to a 9-0 rout of Monte Carlo in the final round of the Spanish Under-19 League. Abdelkarim netted three headers, underscoring his aerial prowess.

Barcelona have already clinched the Spanish Under-19 League title and now turn their attention to the Champions Cup, which features quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final, all played over two legs, to cap off the club's season in this age group.

    Hamza Abdelkarim's situation at Barcelona

    Hamza Abdelkarim has joined Barcelona's Under-19s on loan from Al Ahly, with an option to buy at the end of the season for €2 million.

    Administrative hurdles and a subsequent injury delayed his debut, but he eventually burst onto the scene with a hat-trick against Monaco.

    Abdelkarim now has four goals, all headers, drawing inevitable comparisons with Norway's Erling Haaland.
