The 2012-13 campaign was a season of attacking brilliance and stark frustration for RB Salzburg, as Die Mozartstädter finished 2nd in the Austrian Bundesliga, despite scoring a league-leading 91 goals. Spearheading the devastating offense was Jonathan Soriano, whose phenomenal 26 goals established him as a club legend. However, the season remains a defining, painful chapter due to the "biggest embarrassment" in club history: a shock early elimination from the Champions League qualifiers against Luxembourg's F91 Dudelange, which sadly overshadowed the exciting emergence of future stars like Sadio Mané under manager Roger Schmidt.
