I thnk you're right about the pun, and the word "defender" can be used in both contexts as in the Spanish original

defenders
I think the 2nd "defensa" could refer both to the position in the field and to the defense of footbal as a sport.
I mean I would understand "defensas DE fútbol" as those playing in that position, while "defensas DEL fútbol" as those defending it or leaving it in a good place. anyway we could keep it like that in English.
My point of view.

Backs/Defenders and in the second time it's champions
These players are called in balompie (jaja) or futbol ,"backs" and "defenders'' are also possible. There is a pun. The second defensas means Champions of football.
