BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona's new signing Neymar is determined to leave his mark on the club but has acknowledged he has a long way to go before he can join the likes of Brazilian compatriot Ronaldinho on the list of Barca legends.

The 21-year-old forward, who has joined Barca from Santos for a fee of 57 million euros (48.6 million pounds), played down comparisons with Ronaldinho, who spent five seasons in the Catalan capital and won two La Liga titles and one Champions League crown.
