It may be more a case of Pep managing his game time to the club's advantage. He's had a spell (two, was it?) out with injury this season. Pep was probably thinking about not wanting to risk an injury to key men in what was, AT THAT TIME, a dead game. He almost definitely had an eye on wednesday night and the game in two weeks' time. I doubt it has anything to do with Haaland overshadowing the team. But yes, I totally see where you're coming from re those who have money riding on Haaland reaching a particular milestone.

To be fair, you'd never see Pep doing that with Messi. Dead game or not.

Taking off Haaland when the game is won makes sense but I really wish it wasn't every single game. We seem to take it as a sign that the game is won and we can stop playing, which nearly led to disaster yesterday.

Haaland is big and likely prone to get injured compare to Messi. It's simple as that.

It isn't. His injury record this season has been near impeccable. Dortmund's embarrassingly shite medical team couldn't keep a dog fit, let alone a footballer. Doesn't mean Haaland is crocked.
 
At a quick glance he missed 16 games for Dortmund last season compared to 4 for us this season.

I imagine with him still managing to break records with all these substitutions throughout the season, he'll be happy enough.
