League champions Barcelona, runners up Real Madrid, third placed Atlético Madrid and Europa League champions Sevilla (who finished seventh in the league) all enter the competition at the group stage in September. Fourth placed Villarreal have to play one qualifying round over two legs in August via the "non-champions" path. (30.06.16)
