A young football fan has been left shattered after he was wrongly told he’d won a trip to the Champions League final - then offered a £100 voucher as an apology.Kyro Moore, 18, thought he had bagged the “trip of a lifetime” after entering a competition with sportswear giant Adidas but was devastated to be told it was a mistake.In a grovelling email, Adidas confirmed he was not actually being sent to the UEFA clash between Man City and Inter Milan in Istanbul next month and was one of several others who had fallen victim to a glitch in their app.The car parts warehouse worker, from Kilwinning, Ayrshire, said the blunder had left him “gutted”.He said: “I was absolutely over the moon when I was told I’d won.

It’s a once in a lifetime experience.“I’m a massive football fan and support Celtic, who won the European cup, so you always dream of going to see a European cup final.

I thought ‘you beauty, this is your chance’.“I’d managed to shuffle things about at work and plans with friends to prepare for this trip away.“When I was told it had been a mistake it was complete mood swing and the way I was feeling just plummeted.“I’m just out of school and exams so I thought this was going to be a celebration after all that.

I thought it had come at a great time to get away enjoy myself after the stress. But it’s certainly not turned out that way.
