3rd European competition with 32 teams approved, Europa League to be cut from 48 teams to 32 teams https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/about-uefa/news/newsid=2585829.html
If you finish top in your group in the EL or EL2 you're guaranteed a spot in the final 16, if you finish 2nd you first have to play a #3 from the league above you (so EL #2 vs CL #3 and EL2 #2 vs EL #3) to progress to the final 16.
