Corrections Policy

At Barcelona V Real Madrid, we pride ourselves on maintaining an archival-grade statistical record of football's greatest rivalry. However, with over 120 years of matches, hundreds of goals, and intricate competition rules, historical discrepancies can occasionally occur. When they do, we are dedicated to resolving them swiftly, thoroughly, and transparently.

1. Correction Principles

We adhere to three core principles whenever an error is identified:

• Priority: Correction reports are checked before other work, as soon as we can.
• Sources decide: We check the report against official records (LaLiga, UEFA, the clubs) and independent match databases. If sources genuinely disagree, we say so on the page rather than choose one silently.
• Transparency: Substantive revisions that alter historical totals, head-to-head records, or goal counts are acknowledged with clear update timestamps.

2. Classification of Revisions

We categorize updates into two levels:

• Minor Typographical Corrections: Spacing, grammatical adjustments, or minor punctuation fixes that do not alter factual meaning or statistical values are corrected directly on the page.
• Substantive Statistical Corrections: Corrections involving scores, goal attribution, dates or trophy counts are noted on the page (for articles, in the “What changed” note under the byline).

3. How Readers Can Submit a Correction

If you spot an error anywhere on barcelonavrealmadrid.com, please:

1. Copy the exact URL of the webpage containing the error.
2. Specify the exact text or number that requires correction.
3. Add a link to a source that supports the correction (an official league, UEFA or club record, or a reputable match database).
4. Email it to: contact@barcelonavrealmadrid.com.

Every report is read and checked. Confirmed corrections are made in our data files, so the fix updates every page that uses the figure, and articles get an “Updated” date with a note on what changed.
