Apple Pay Using Wrong Card

I selected the card I want to pay with from wallet. I try to make the payment with that card. On my phone it says the payment failed, however the card reader says the payment was accepted. I then get a notification that a different card in my wallet was charged even though I did not want to use that card.

I am in Spain and using a card from Australia. Looking into my wallet it appears it used my default card but still annoying as that card is aud and has high fees where the card I wanted to use was a travel card with Euro. Just annoying that I tried to pay with one card and it just used another automatically. I realised in apple wallet settings the card that was used was the default card so I have changed that now but still shouldn’t just default as there were sufficient funds on the card I tried to use . This has happened twice now since I arrived.
