Black Demons vs. Dracs: Reigning champions collide with historic powerhouse in 2025 Spanish Bowl
The 2025 Spanish Bowl, climaxing the 31st season of Spain’s LNFA, pits defending champions LG OLED Black Demons Las Rozas against historic powerhouse Badalona Dracs at Badalona Municipal Stadium on May 3.
Dominance meets dynasty
The Black Demons arrive undefeated (8-0) after crushing Terrassa Reds 35-0 in the semifinals. Aiming for a third straight title—and sixth consecutive final—they’ve dominated both sides of the ball, averaging 38.6 points per game while allowing a league-low 9.2. Their 35-0 Spanish Cup win over the Dracs in April underscored their ruthless form. Quarterback Theo Landers (16 passing TDs, 10 rushing) leads an offense bolstered by national standouts like Álvaro Molano and Gonzalo Haro.
Dracs chase history
The Badalona Dracs, 11-time champions, seek their first title since 2019 after a 33-13 semifinal rout of Osos Rivas. Despite a 24-22 Week 2 stumble against Mallorca Voltors, the Eastern Conference leaders (7-1) boast the LNFA’s top passer, Pol Singleton (21 TDs), and scoring leader Keshawn Williams (19 TDs). Young talents Eloi Soler and David Martínez add dynamism to an offense averaging 35.6 points.
Rivalry renewed
This marks their first final clash since 2021, when the Dracs triumphed 31-21. However, the Black Demons have since emerged as Spain’s modern force, winning five of their last six matchups. April’s cup final drubbing exposed the Dracs’ vulnerability to Las Rozas’ defensive pressure, which sacked Singleton five times.
Deciding factors
The Black Demons must contain Williams’ ground game while exploiting gaps in a Dracs secondary that allowed 18.5 PPG in playoffs. For Badalona, neutralizing Landers’ dual-threat versatility—he accounted for 80% of Las Rozas’ playoff scores—is paramount.
Legacy on the line
A Black Demons victory would secure Spain’s first three-peat since the Dracs’ 2016-2020 dynasty. For Badalona, reclaiming the throne would reassert their historic dominance. As two eras collide, Saturday’s duel will define the next chapter of Spanish football.
