He's a talent."Liverpool's victory came courtesy of goals from Andrew Robertson and Mane in the 87th and stoppage time, respectively.Guardiola acknowledged there is nothing fortunate about the manner in which Klopp's team is able to grind out such results so late in games.He added: "Another close Liverpool win? If it's one time, two times, 'we were lucky, we were lucky'."But it happened in the last two seasons many, many times. They have a special character to do that."We look at ourselves, we know which team we face, I think they have won 10 and drawn one."Next week we go to Anfield to try to play them."
