A Spanish football fan who was expecting to watch Barcelona FC play in the Uefa Champions League was left "gutted and embarrassed" after finding himself at the stadium for League One club Exeter City.
Exeter City Football Club said the supporter travelled from London, only to arrive at the wrong St James Park in Exeter, Devon, on Tuesday evening, rather than St James' Park in Newcastle.
The club said it was only when he showed his ticket to staff he realised the error.
Instead, the club gave him a free ticket to Exeter City's League One tie against Lincoln City - which the Grecians lost 0-1.

Meanwhile, about 366 miles (589km) away, Barcelona FC drew 1-1 against Newcastle United.
Adam Spencer, supporter experience officer at Exeter City, said the Barcelona fan was "pretty gutted and a bit embarrassed".
Spencer said the man's English was "not great", but from what the team gathered he had travelled from London.
"My guess is he'd put St James Park in his phone and then just followed the directions from there," he said.
"We sorted him out a ticket and he got to watch a game at the real St James Park."
Spencer said the man was "welcome back anytime".
