Not really.
Ronaldinho's diabolical decline was visible during 07/08 and his value dropped from €80m to €33m within a season.
Ronaldinho was never the same after 05/06 (he declined later on in that season and had a poor World Cup). It was Larsson that turned the CL final and Brazil flopped.
06/07 a poor Real were able to make up a points gap to win the league and then again in 07/08.
Ronaldinho's brilliance was his first two and a half seasons. While he'll always be a Barca legend his longevity lets him down, a bit like Ronaldo who only gave us a season before buggering off but what a season. A big part of why Ronaldinho is a legend is because he took over a team and a club in a bad state and he turned it around in a Cruyff esque manner which was the catalyst for all the success since.
Neymar's 4 years here were good ones but not amazing. He never dazzled like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo or even Rivaldo did at their best in a Barca shirt, not even close. There's not much glory in being a PSG legend and he's lost his chance at being a Barca one. His legacy hangs on winning a World Cup with Brazil and a starring role and/or going to Real Madrid and becoming a legend there.
