If the cup winners qualify for the Champions League via league position, the berth reserved for the cup winners (Europa League play-off round) passes to the third-placed team, and the berths for the Europa League second qualifying round and the Conference League second qualifying round are passed down to the fourth- and fifth-placed teams.
