Serie A had already sealed the first spot last month.
It means Serie A and Bundesliga can no longer be overtaken by the final remaining contenders, England and France.
Two leagues will be rewarded with an extra place through the European Performance Spots, given to the two leagues with the best average performance across the three European competitions each season and comes as part of the revamp to expand the Champions League to a 36-team competition.
