The defending champion and unbeaten Las Rozas Black Demons enter the Spanish National League of American Football semifinal as heavy favorites when they face the upstart Terrassa Reds, April 12.
Led by Canadian quarterback Theo Landers—a league legend—and a powerhouse national roster including Álvaro Molano, Gonzalo Haro, Alejandro García, and Emilio Ibáñez, the Demons dominate on both sides of the ball. They lead the LNFA in scoring (39 points per game) and boast the league’s stingiest defense (10.3 points allowed per game), making them a near-impenetrable force. Their quest for a historic third consecutive title hinges on maintaining this relentless balance.
The Underdog Challenge: Terrassa Reds’ Cinderella Run
Promoted in 2024, the Terrassa Reds have stunned the league with a 5-2-1 debut season. Spearheaded by star playmaker Alpha Jalloh, the Reds rely on his leadership and the explosiveness of American receiver Dandre Fuller and running back Charlemagne Take. While their offense lacks the Demons’ polish, their aggressive, unpredictable style could test Las Rozas’ discipline. The Catalans’ rapid rise has been fueled by teamwork and ambition, but overcoming the champions’ pedigree remains a monumental task.
Clash of Titans: Experience vs. Ambition
Saturday’s showdown at El Cantizal pits the LNFA’s most complete team against its boldest upstart. Can the Demons’ veteran core and tactical precision secure a three-peat, or will Terrassa’s fearless underdogs script a fairytale upset? With a Spanish Bowl berth at stake, this semifinal promises fireworks as legacy collides with rising ambition.
