Until a few years ago even the winner of the Champions League was not guaranteed an automatic berth in the competition. The situation that Liverpool caused in '05 when they won the CL but finished fifth forced UEFA to clarify its rules and ensure that if the title holder failed to qualify through league position they would still be able to defend their title. So to answer your question, no.
