Which teams compete in the 36-team league phase?
Twenty-five teams qualified automatically by virtue of their domestic league placing, with the holders of the Champions League and UEFA Europa League also both guaranteed a spot. Rebalancing was required as both of those title winners also qualified automatically via their domestic league placing.
Two further places (Bologna and Dortmund) were filled by the European Performance Spots, while seven teams sealed their spots via qualifying: Crvena Zvezda, GNK Dinamo, Lille, Salzburg, Slovan Bratislava, Sparta Praha and Young Boys.
