Everybody’s got their own explanation for Sergio Ramos’ new haircut

Maybe Sergio Ramos didn't know which hairstyle to go with so decided to split his head into two different haircuts.

Ramos is adamant that he opened the scoring in Spain's shock defeat to Russia on Sunday but replays appeared to show that the deadlock was in fact broken by an own goal courtesy of the rugby-tackling Russian defender Sergei Ignashevich. But Ramos celebrated as if he'd got the final touch and supporters got a good look at the Spanish centre-half's new hairdo as he sprinted towards a pitchside camera. Viewers got plenty of chances to see Ramos' hairstyle as the game ended up in extra time thanks to an equaliser from the penalty spot before half-time. Over the course of the 120 minutes and subsequent penalty shootout, everybody had their own explanation for Ramos' split haircut. The left side of Ramos' hair looked like a classic fade but the right side is much more drastic, inspiring several online theories about what might have happened. There were suggestions that Mohamed Salah was involved. https://twitter.com/Vish197/status/1013452550895558656 https://twitter.com/Mauroftbl/status/1013423868340563969 https://twitter.com/t_oriordan/status/1013432271204954113 While others claimed that Ramos simply had to run out of the barbershop before it could be finished. https://twitter.com/RickyEllis26/status/1013435267632558080 https://twitter.com/RobsonChater7/status/1013429695378001921 https://twitter.com/feedthegoss/status/1013453539719467008 https://twitter.com/jb_andretti/status/1013451862685741056 It was posited that perhaps Ramos had enlisted the help of a blind barber. https://twitter.com/StuartMitchener/status/1013421696920023041 https://twitter.com/Dux3y/status/1013432230948081664 https://twitter.com/nbaston6/status/1013456344731541505 https://twitter.com/neilselman147/status/1013449404580278272 The majority of supporters were in agreement, however, that it was just a bad call from the Real Madrid defender. https://twitter.com/adamallday3/status/1013432585651982337 https://twitter.com/Alooushiii/status/1013438597876338688 https://twitter.com/m88ulv/status/1013443915360456707 https://twitter.com/xODETOYOUTHx/status/1013422091390144512 https://twitter.com/king_curry3/status/1013443537751306240
