"Since the summer of 2013, Barcelona have spent more money on players than Real Madrid""just under €4m (£3.6m) more than their rivals" from Marca

I think that`s a very interesting fact, quite a surprising one too. Real Madrid seem to have so much more depth than Barcelona. It does seem like Real have relatively few transfer flops compared to the amount Barca have had in recent years though, so I guess that does make a bit of sense. Whoever is in charge of player scouting at Barca should probably be replaced though

While I agree that they have made stupid buys, I think the Barca playstyle(They try to mantain it) just doesn't fit some players. See Ibra, Real Madrid is a much standard club at least in that way.
