Mohamed Barakat (Arabic: محمد بركات‎) (born November 20, 1976) is an Egyptian footballer. Barakat plays the offensive right wing for Egypt's Al-Ahly and the Egyptian National Team. He is a right-footed attacking midfielder and playmaker. He is considered by many as one of the most talented players in Africa nowadays. Barakat's hallmarks are surging runs from midfield which often disrupt opposing defences as well as a box-to-box work ethic which makes him an important figure both in defence and attack. Thanks to his noticeable achievements and talent, his fans have given him the nickname "Blessings , The Mercurial" (Arabic: بركات الزئبقي‎) . He reached his peak in 2005 and 2006, helping his club Al-Ahly to win the CAF Champions League 2005 and CAF Champions League 2006 and Egypt win their fifth African Cup of Nations Egypt 2006. However, in 2006 his career was marred by a long spell of injuries.

Club career

Early career

Barakat began his career at unheralded Sekka but really found his feet when he joined Al-Ismaily - just about the only club in Egypt with the ability to stand up to the 'big boys' of Al-Ahly and Zamalek.

At the Arab Gulf

The 2002 Egyptian Footballer of the Year has joined Alarabi in Qatar and then Ahly Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. He helped the later win 2003 Arab Club Championship. Barakat scored twice in that tournament; one of them was the Final winner.

Al Ahly

Barakat returned to Egypt in 2004 to join Al Ahly. Some have commented that the combination with Mohamed Aboutrika and Emad Moteab formed the most formidable triangle in African Soccer, and they were given the moniker of "The Bermuda Triangle".

Mohamed Barakat won the BBC African Footballer of 2005 award ahead of Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o and Obafemi Martins of Nigeria.[1] More than 15,000 voted for him. He was also named the best player in Africa's continental club competition by the African Football Association for the same year, as he scored 7 goals in the CAF Champions League 2005.

International career

Barakat made his debut for the Pharaohs in June 2000 against South Korea. He played 4 matches in 2002 African Cup of Nations and all Egypt's matches in 2006 Africa Cup of Nations. Barakat ended his international career on the 18th of November 2009 after his dream to reach the 2010 FIFA World Cup was crashed by Algeria that won 1-0, he told the press about that discussion on 11 August 2010.
