The 2012-13 season was a turbulent one for Real Madrid, marked by internal conflicts and underwhelming results, despite high expectations under José Mourinho. After winning La Liga in record-breaking fashion the previous season, Madrid struggled to maintain their dominance, finishing second in the league behind Barcelona and falling short in the Champions League semi-finals against Borussia Dortmund. Karim Benzema had a mixed season, as he faced competition from Gonzalo Higuaín for the starting striker role. While he contributed with 20 goals in all competitions, including key strikes in the Champions League, his form was inconsistent, and he often faced criticism for his finishing and work rate. Madrid did manage to win the Supercopa de España against Barcelona, but their season ended in disappointment with a Copa del Rey final defeat to Atlético Madrid. Mourinho’s departure at the end of the campaign signaled a period of transition for the club, and for Benzema, it was a season of ups and downs as he continued to develop into Madrid’s long-term number nine.
