Blame it on the shaved head.

Neymar once again found himself cursing his luck Sunday following a bizarre sequence events in the first half of Barcelona's La Liga fixture at Sevilla.

After being brought down on the edge of the Andalusian club's penalty area, the Brazilian phenom stepped up to take the free-kick and was forced to watch as his shot clipped the post and rolled across the goal line before Coke coerced Luis Suarez to blast a tight-angled shot off the other post.

Keep in mind Neymar missed a penalty during Barcelona's 2-1 victory over Las Palmas last week in his shaved head's debut. He then saw the Court of Arbitration for Sport reject an appeal to reduce his four-match ban at the international level, meaning he'll miss Brazil's first two 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

It's been all downhill for Neymar since he cut his iconic hair.
