You could make the cup more important if only the results of the cup qualified for this tournament. For example, if the Cup winner qualifies for Champions League, take the finalist, and then the next team. You might even have playoffs.
It would also make the cup more important for mid-tier teams and you wouldn't have a Kaiserslautern in the German Cup final. And if you did, 2nd Division Kaiserslautern would be going to Europe!
Make it a tournament of just cup winners, and maybe finalist if some countries still have spots.
You'd have ManU, Bilbao, Lyon, Kaiserslautern, Lazio or Fiorentina, etc... in a competition
