#RoadToDuisburg: A quarterback view on the Semifinals

The European League of Football championship-race is coming down to the last four teams. Four teams, that showed great effort and skills in the regular season and Wildcard Round.

Closing distance

All three Conference-Winners are present in the Semifinals, with the Frankfurt Galaxy also in place to make a giant push. For the Galaxy, the second title in three years is in closing distance. Rhein Fire, the big favorite for the title this year, has other plans. It's a little private duel between Jadrian Clark and Jakeb Sullivan. Sullivan, who won the Offensive Player of the Year Award in 2021, and Jadrian Clark, who is the front-runner to win the MVP this year, have played in the final of 2021 against each other. Will Jadrian Clark use this chance to secure his revenge?

Austrian-German duel

Looking at the Austrian-German duel, the Vienna Vikings are looking towards bringing a big party into the Generali Arena on Saturday. Chris Helbig and Reilly Hennessey, quarterbacks of both teams, know each other from their time in the German Football League, now wanting to show what they are capable of in the best European league. It could come down to inches. Hennessey, who was activated from IR late into the season and Chris Helbig, who was under center the whole year of 2023, have similar skill sets. The supporting cast and the pressure of the opposing defense might decide that matchup.
