Barça will receive their ninth league victory this Saturday against bottom side CIVITAS BM Guadalajara (8:00 p.m.)
At just 16 years old and the twin of fellow youth player Petar, the right-back is making his debut with the first team
In a week without European matches, Barça receives this Saturday at 8:00 p.m. a CIVITAS BM Guadalajara that closes the table in the Plenitude Liga ASOBAL with only four points as a result of two wins and seven losses for the nine wins in nine games for the locals.
Barça coach Carlos Ortega has taken advantage of these days to correct details before a very tough final stretch of 2022 with four weeks with two games and a fifth with three in which he will visit the difficult pitch of Nantes in the Champions League and will play in Malaga the new Iberian Super Cup with the semifinals on December 18 against Sporting de Portugal, the club from which the Portuguese arrived Luis Frade.
The great novelty facing this duel with clear Barcelona superiority is the presence on the list of the very young youth squad player Djordje Cikusa, only 16 years old. The 1.91 m tall right-back has been causing a sensation for years and was the best in his position last August in the Youth European Championship in which the Spanish team won another gold.
The twin brother of Petar, who is also a youth squad player, is the son of Zoran Cikusa, a former Gijón player (Asobal League) who already played for Bordils in the First National, where the family settled. Both Djordje and Petar have triple nationality, Croatian, Serbian and Spanish, but they chose to represent Spain at the selection level.
Both dream of repeating the successes achieved with the Hispanics by two other mythical pairs of brothers like the Dujshebaevs (Álex and Dani) or the Entrerríos (Alberto and a Raúl who, by the way, has trained them in the Barça youth team).

On the last day in Benidorm, Ortega rested the versatile Slovenian Blaz Janc, who will do so again this Saturday along with Dika Mem, Thiagus Petrus and Luka Cindric. On the other hand, Ludovic Fàbregas returns after overcoming gastroenteritis and there will also be an Artur Parera who is usually the one discarded in Europe and Pablo Urdangarin, who is increasingly common in league clashes.
This Friday the squad and the Barça coaching staff have carried out the official photo of the 2022-23 season with the assistance of the president Joan Laporta and the director in charge of the Joan Solé section. After the defeat in the final of the Super Globe, the goal is now to match the sensational last season with the Champions included.
