Another blank in El Clasico made it two months without a goal for Neymar.
The Brazilian striker was guilty of a host of missed chances as Barcelona's 1-0 was pegged back by Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos in stoppage time.
And the disappointing result meant the Blaugrana remained six points behind the Los Blancos.
But it was even frustrating for Neymar, who made it seven LaLiga games without a goal for the first time.
He last found the back of the net in the 4-3 defeat to Celta Vigo October 2.
Barcelona's next match sees them host Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League dead rubber, but Neymar will miss the clash through suspension, which will be even more disappointing as, with the pressure off, it could have been the perfect opportunity to get that monkey off his back.
While a fifth LaLiga yellow card means he is also banned from facing Osasuna; and now will not be able to take to the field until the Catalan derby against Espanyol on 18th December.
Despite his lack of goals, the former Santos ace has played well; and was arguably the best of the superstar MSN trident against Real Madrid.
It was his cross which set up Luis Suarez's opener, while he has also provided a number of assists for Lionel Messi in recent weeks.
But the stats will show just four goals in LaLiga this season, which is not good enough for a player of his immense quality.
While in the Champions League, he has scored just twice; and missed a penalty before netting a sensational fourth in the 4-0 victory over Manchester City.
