by Bert Kassies

The Champions League cup-holder spot will not be used because Barcelona already qualified for the group stage of the Champions League. This implies that the champion of the 13th country on the ranking list (Standard Liège, Belgium) has direct access to the group stage, the champion of the 16th country on the ranking list (FC Zürich, Switzerland) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the champions of the 48th and 49th countries on the ranking list (EB Streymur, Faroe Islands and F91 Dudelange, Luxembourg) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League.

The Europa League cup-holder spot will not be used because Shakhtar Donetsk already qualified for the Champions League. This implies that the 4th qualifying round is extended with an extra match.
