The Champions League title holder Chelsea did not already qualify for the Champions League, and therefore the 4th English team, Tottenham Hotspur, has to take part in the Europa League group stage since the maximum number of clubs from one country in the Champions League is 4. This implies that the 3rd team of the 6th country on the ranking list (Sporting Braga, Portugal) and the 2nd team of the 7th country on the ranking list (Spartak Moscow, Russia) have direct access to the 4th qualifying round of the Champions League.
The Europa League title holder Atlético Madrid already qualified for the group stage of the Europa League. This implies that the cup winner of the 7th country on the ranking list (Rubin Kazan, Russia) has direct access to the group stage, the 1st league entrant of the 16th country on the ranking list (FC Luzern, Switzerland) has direct access to the 4th qualifying round, the 1st league entrant of the 19th country on the ranking list (Rapid Wien, Austria) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the cup winners of the 33th and 34th countries on the ranking list (Moldova) and (Zalgiris Vilnius, Lithuania) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.
Because the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League (for non-champions) now consists of 8 teams there will be only 4 eliminated teams that get access to the 4th qualifying round of the Europa League. This implies that the cup winner of the 17th country on the ranking list (Hapoel Tel-Aviv, Israel) has direct access to the 4th qualifying round, the cup winner of the 20th country on the ranking list (Omonia Nicosia, Cyprus) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the cup winners of the 35th and 36th countries on the ranking list (Skonto Riga, Latvia) and (Dila Gori, Georgia) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.
