Neymar believes that he can finally say he has made his mark in a Barcelona shirt after notching up a hat-trick in his side's 6-1 hammering of Celtic in the Champions League.
Prior to the match, the Brazilian superstar had only managed five goals in 20 appearances for the club since making the move from Santos in the off-season, leaving many underwhelmed by his impact.
However, with Lionel Messi injured and Barcelona having lost two of their last three matches, the 21-year-old came to the fore against Celtic, scoring three times in 13 minutes.
"I'm very happy - not only for the three goals in the Champions League, but also for the team's win," he is quoted as saying by Marca.
"I did not feel the pressure, but I wanted to make my mark. The important thing is we were able to overcome those two losses and now we must change our mindset to think about La Liga. "
The resounding victory over their Scottish opponents ensured that the Blaugrana topped Champions League Group H.
