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 Montecarlo 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 begins with home-and-away quarter-finals before progressing to semi-finals and a final, concluding the club's campaign 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 for €2 million at the end of the season.

    The forward initially encountered bureaucratic hurdles, then suffered an injury, but he quickly made an impact once he returned, netting a hat-trick against Monaco.

    Abdelkarim now has four goals, all headers, a statistic that has drawn inevitable comparisons with Norway's Erling Haaland.
