Madrid title
The four Spanish contenders were already known, as was the order in which they would enter the competition, but Sunday's domestic finale ensured Real Madrid CF, who will start in the group stage, will take part as Primera División champions. Runners-up Real Sociedad de Fútbol will also avoid the third qualifying round, which is where RC Deportivo La Coruña and RC Celta de Vigo will begin.
FCK triumph
The last remaining issue was whether FC København or Brøndby IF would be Denmark's entrants, a matter settled by FCK's title success on Sunday after a 4-1 win against AGF Århus. FCK will go into the second qualifying round while Brøndby will have to settle for the UEFA Cup.
