The 1972–73 season is Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 70th season in existence and the club's 41th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.

Summary

The club finished in a disappointing fourth place in League Table five points behind Champion Atletico Madrid.[1] Meanwhile, in Copa del Generalísimo the team was early eliminated in Eightfinals by Sporting Gijon losing the away game 0-1 and a miserable draw 1–1 at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.[2] The squad reached the semifinals in European Cup and was defeating the two games of the series by future three-consecutive Champions of the tournament Ajax Amsterdam.[3] President Santiago Bernabeu attended the Final himself expecting to sign Ajax starplayer Johan Cruyff who instead was signed by archrivals CF Barcelona during summer.[4]
