The 1972–73 season is Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 70th season in existence and the club's 41st consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.
Summary[]
The club finished a disappointing fourth in the league five points behind champions Atlético Madrid.[1] Meanwhile, in the Copa del Generalísimo the team was eliminated early in the eightfinals by Sporting Gijón, losing the away game 0–1 and achieving a miserable draw 1–1 at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.[2]
During February Santiago Bernabeu visited Israel and gave a medal to Moshe Dayan[3] a gesture which severed relations with Francisco Franco and becoming crutial to deny Governmente support for a new stadium project.
The squad reached the semi-finals of the European Cup where it was defeated twice by the defending champions and future winners Ajax Amsterdam who would go on to repeat their success in the following season, making it three in a row.[4] President Santiago Bernabéu attended the Final himself expecting to sign Ajax starplayer Johan Cruyff who instead was ultimately signed by archrivals CF Barcelona during the summer transfer window.[5]
