Khaberni - The Barcelona list called up to participate in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League includes the young Egyptian star Hamza Abdel Karim as the second youngest player on the list.
Barcelona's list included the call-up of 25 players and Hamza Abdel Karim is likely to get his chance to participate with the first team in the UEFA Champions League this season.
The match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano in the third round of the Spanish League witnessed a unique precedent in the history of Egyptian professionals in Europe as Hamza Abdel Karim got the chance to participate as a substitute ten minutes before the end of the match, coinciding with him being the first Egyptian player to wear the Blaugrana shirt in La Liga.
Barcelona has won the UEFA Champions League five times in its history, the last of which was the 2014-2015 season against Juventus in Berlin with a score of three goals to one.
Barcelona was crowned in the UEFA Champions League during five seasons: 1991-1992, 2005-2006, 2008-2009, 2010-2011, and 2014-2015.
