Sorry for the 1-week hiatus...I guess UPT is a bit like the NFL, with a one week break between the semifinals and the final. Anyway, here goes the final round:

What to do
-----------

Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away? In any case:
remember that it's single-leg, and a draw qualifies the team with the X
on its side.

*Home*
- Before Wednesday 2022-02-09, 11:59 GMT
- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

*Away*
- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked his
teams) and before kickoff of the first match
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he hasn't picked
any team, you have free choice)
- Their opponents will represent your opponent

(If the away player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the home
player will be represented by his preferred team. If nobody picks a
team, teams are assigned randomly.)

Final
-----------
Jesus Petry - Jesper Lauridsen
Verona 1 - Udinese X2
Espanyol 1X - Barcelona 2

Third place matches
---------------------------------
3P1: MH - Werner Pichler
Genoa 1 - Salernitana X2
Levante 1X - Real Betis 2

3P2: The Doctor - Futbolmetrix
Brest 1 - Troyes X2
Union Berlin 1X - Dortmund 2

7th place matches
-----------------------------
7P1: milivella - Jackson
Lyon 1 - Nice X2
Empoli 1 - Cagliari X2

7P2: Mark - ixion martin
Nantes 1 - Rennes X2
Cadiz 1X - Celta Vigo 2

I better make my superb owl pick then. Not that I have much of chance,
being up against someone from the 92nd percentile of NFL predicting.

The team of John Lauridsen, or the team of Preben Elkjær? All logic
dictates John Lauridsen, but Barcelona migh have Braithwaite back, so
I go Lassie and pick I Mastini.

I never predict the superb owl. Far too much depends on who is pitching.

Results:

Final
Jesus Petry 0 - 4 Jesper Lauridsen (Udinese X2-Verona 1)

Congratulations Jesper for the emphatic victory, your second one in the history of UPT. Sometimes even Tier 3 can taste glory. Jesus instead collects a pair of runner-up finishes for Season 49.

Bronze medal matches
MH 1 - 1 Werner Pichler (Salernitana X2-Genoa 1)
The Doctor 3 - 0 Futbolmetrix (Dortmund 2-Union Berlin 1X)

Who cares about third place matches anyway?

7th place playoff
milivella #N/A - #N/A Jackson (-)
Mark 1 - 0 ixion martin (Nantes 1-Reims X2)

Both milivella and Jackson forfeited, so we have only one 7th placed player, and that is FC Mark.

Stay tuned for Season 50 organizational thread

Yay! From dead last last season, to 7th. We're making progress!

The Barcelona derby would have made for a more thrilling final, but
me, and my nerves, are happy with my choice.

Only the final matters, that is correct.
