Tipp celebrate at the final whistle - but who was man of the match? Ryan Byrne/INPHO

Who was man of the match in today's All-Ireland hurling final?

There’s no shortage of candidates for the official award.

TIPPERARY’S 28TH ALL-IRELAND was delivered by a cast of outstanding performers — but only one can be named man of the match this evening.

Both Paudie Maher and Ronan Maher were the standouts in the Tipp rearguard, while Barry Heffernan and Seamus Kennedy will also have won plenty of fans with their performances on Sunday.

Noel McGrath delivered a creative masterclass from his midfield berth once again, capping his fine summer with one final flourish.

John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer scored 1-2 while captain and leader Seamus Callanan also finished with 1-2 (1-1 from play), and John McGrath chipped in with 0-3 in a towering performance.

    I thought Barcelona are over a billion in debt & now they are spending €1.5 billion on their stadium and they also want to buy Mohammed Salah?
    Wha?

    @O’Brien Michael: I’ve come to learn that when rich people and teams are in debt it’s not the same as us being in debt. They can always find someone else to lend them more

    @O’Brien Michael: They have signed a huge sponsorship deal with Spotify including the naming rights to the Camp Nou. Once they satisfy the Spanish league funding requirements they can sign who they want.
    Woe and betide any financial institution that try to foreclose on Barca

    @thomas walsh: yes but surely someone at some stage is going to have to say enough is enough.
    We are not even talking about being millions in debt we are talking billions now.
    Barcelona just defy belief what they are at.

    @Joe Gorham: Joe I done the tour in summer 2019. Think it was around €30 each well worth. €60 certainly seems a huge increase.

    @O’Brien Michael: This is an infrastructural project and the loans will be separate to the current debt to be paid back over 35 years. The idea is that the extra income from the expansion and upgrade will pay off the construction loans.

    It’s also not just the stadium. There will also be a new Blaugrana indoor arena, offices, a hotel and a new museum.
