1 Since the 2012–13 Copa del Rey champions, Atlético Madrid, and runners-up, Real Madrid, are mathematically qualified to 2013–14 UEFA Champions League, the 5th-placed team will qualify for the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League group stage. So, the 6th- will qualify for the play-off round and the 7th- for the third qualifying round.[28]
2 Málaga was excluded from participating in any UEFA club competition in 2013–14 season.[29] Málaga appealed against this UEFA ban, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed the decision of the UEFA Club Financial Control Body.[30]
3 Rayo Vallecano was excluded from participating in any UEFA club competition for the next season after RFEF denied them a "UEFA license" because they didn't meet the requirements as they were immersed in a creditor contest.[31][32] They appealed to CAS in June 2013 and on 11 July that decision was confirmed.[33]
