##### Quarter-finals
### Supercopa de España

As Barcelona were winners of both the 2017–18 Copa del Rey and 2017–18 La Liga, Sevilla qualified as the Copa del Rey runners-up and faced Barcelona for the season opening Supercopa de España. For the first time in the tournament history, it was a single match hosted in a neutral venue at the Stade Ibn Batouta in Tangier, Morocco.

### UEFA Europa League

Spain received three bids to the UEFA Europa League. The fifth-placed team in La Liga and the Copa del Rey winner qualify for the Europa League group stage. The sixth-placed team in La Liga begins in the Second qualifying round. As Barcelona qualified for both the Champions League (1st in La Liga) and the Europa League (Copa del Rey winner), their Europa League place is vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions (seventh-placed team, Sevilla) qualify for the Europa league.
