A Barcelona fan found himself in an incredible situation this Tuesday when he went to see his team play against Newcastle but ended up in the wrong stadium, becoming a spectator at a third-tier English match. The Barcelona supporter traveled from Spain to watch his team play at St James' Park against Newcastle in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg. However, he got confused and went to a stadium with the same name as Newcastle's... but more than six hours' drive away. This is St James' Park, where Exeter City plays, a club that competes in England's third division. According to the Argentine News Agency, despite the bizarre mix-up, the fan was 'lucky'. When he showed his tickets, he was told it was the wrong stadium but was still allowed in to watch the match, which Lincoln City won 1-0. Almost 600 kilometers away, at the other St James' Park, Barcelona managed to rescue a dramatic 1-1 draw against Newcastle and will decide the tie next week at their home ground.
