Here is a summary of the 2012–13 Real Madrid season:

In the 2012–13 season, Real Madrid marked their 109th year and 82nd consecutive campaign in La Liga, kicking off with a Supercopa de España triumph over Barcelona on away goals. In the league, they finished runners-up to Barcelona with 85 points, while their Champions League journey ended in the semi-finals for a third straight year, losing 3–4 on aggregate to Borussia Dortmund. Their Copa del Rey campaign was memorable, featuring a stunning 3–1 win at the Camp Nou in the semi-finals, but they suffered a heartbreaking 1–2 extra-time loss to Atlético Madrid in the final. This meant Real Madrid secured just one trophy from four competitions, despite a strong record of three wins, two draws, and one loss in six Clásicos against Barcelona that season. Off the pitch, they signed Luka Modrić from Tottenham for roughly £33 million, and after the Copa final defeat, coach José Mourinho departed by mutual agreement.
