Kerry's David Clifford on BBC Two NI: "I don't know what to say. You think about doing it all week, you're almost waking up in the middle of the night. It's such a good feeling."
On number of two-pointers: "It's hard to know. Meath tried it in the semi-finals but probably over did it. The beauty of our set up is we let the forwards do what they want and trust them to make good decisions."
On 'Messi of Gaelic football' comparisons: "To be honest, I nearly take it as a hit, as some people might say it not from right place and are hoping you will fail. Tat was a massive motivation for me today."

FT: Donegal 0-19 Kerry 1-26
The Rose of Tralee rings around Croke Park as Kerry celebrate title number 39. They are worthy winners as a blistering start saw them build a platform and even when Donegal got to within striking distance in the second period, Jack O'Connor's men always had an answer and they finished with a flourish.

BBC Sport NI at Croke ParkThe tension in Croke Park is rising every minute.
Donegal have done well to keep themselves in it with 15 minutes left, but they're still faced with a mini-mountain to climb.
