Norwich is still hurting over the embarrassing thrashing they received from Leeds united and they will…..

Norwich City striker Ashley Barnes has broken his silence following his team’s embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Leeds United in the playoff semifinals. Barnes, who was subjected to chants and jeers from the Elland Road crowd, took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the game and the season as a whole.

“A devastating, disappointing night on Thursday evening for everyone,” Barnes wrote. “The highs of football wiped away very quickly! The achievement to reach the playoffs was a minimum in which we did, but not being able to progress through with only ourselves to blame is a blow for everyone.”

Barnes’ post-game antics, which included trying to get Leeds’ Junior Firpo in trouble and acknowledging the crowd’s chants, did not go unnoticed. However, he took the stick from the Leeds fans in good spirits, acknowledging that he thrives off the pantomime villain narrative.

Despite the disappointing result, Barnes expressed his gratitude to the Norwich City staff and fans, saying, “I want to thank the Boss and Stuart Webber for bringing me to this amazing football club and to have the privilege to work with so many amazing people that work tirelessly behind the scenes in preparing and looking after us on a daily basis and knowing what this club means to them is why we love our job and do what we do.”

Barnes also looked ahead to next season, saying, “Setbacks are what makes us stronger as individuals and as a group, but the hunger to go again and challenge again next season is there more than ever! Now time to rest and recover and see you all next season stronger than ever.”

The defeat marked the end of Norwich City’s season, with manager David Wagner being sacked shortly after the game. The club will now look to rebuild and challenge again in the Championship next season.

Leeds United, on the other hand, will face Southampton in the playoff final at Wembley, with the winner earning promotion to the Premier League. The game promises to be an exciting encounter, with Leeds looking to make a return to the top flight after a 16-year absence.

In other news, Leeds United “wonderkid” Crysencio Summerville has seen transfer confirmation from a European club after a dramatic season end. The 21-year-old winger has been linked with a move to Dutch side Feyenoord, with reports suggesting that a deal is close to being finalized.

Everton chief Bill Kenwright has also confirmed that transfer talks with Leeds United will take place on Sunday, with the Toffees looking to sign Whites striker Patrick Bamford. The 29-year-old has been linked with a move to Goodison Park, with reports suggesting that a deal could be worth up to £30 million.

In injury news, Norwich City have received a boost with the return of striker Josh Sargent, who partnered Barnes up front in the second leg against Leeds. Sargent’s pace and energy caused problems for the Leeds defense, and his return will be a welcome addition to the Norwich City squad next season.

Leeds United fans have been having their say on the playoff final, with many predicting a Whites victory. In a poll on the LeedsAllOver website, 75% of fans predicted a Leeds win, with 20% predicting a Southampton victory and 5% predicting a draw.

Finally, Leeds United fans have been reminiscing about past playoff finals, with many sharing their memories of the 2008 final against Doncaster Rovers. The Whites won the game 1-0, with Jonathan Howson scoring the winner in front of a packed Wembley Stadium. The win marked Leeds’ return to the Championship, and fans will be hoping for a similar outcome this time around.
