Barcelona Drops Public Backing to Hamza Abdel Karim After Debut Goal

Barcelona backs Hamza Abdel Karim after debut goal

Barcelona publicly encouraged Hamza Abdel Karim after his standout first appearance in Barça colors, praising his potential and drive.

The Egyptian forward joined Barça's reserve team from Al Ahly on a six-month loan with an option to buy.

In the under-19 clash with Huesca, Hamza scored his first goal and drew a penalty, delighting fans and club officials alike.

The club's Arabic X account shared a video of the goal with the caption: "A good start, the road ahead looks brighter for Hamza."

Catalan media hailed his early displays, with some likening him to a Salah-era talent emerging from La Masia.

Punchline 1: If he keeps this up, Barça might finally stop mispronouncing his name and start needing a mic to introduce him instead.

Punchline 2: For the loan, the only thing he’s lending Barça right now is goals and good vibes—glue for a young team’s locker-room optimism.
