Same here. While in a Nike Store in London, I could not use my Barclaycard for a 50 EUR purchase. So unheard of to use a Mastercard for purchasing something while on vacation. Used a different card which worked fine. No SMS or notification on my phone to verify myself either. Wrote them a mail to ask what this was about and why I cannot use my card, but they only wrote back that the card was not blocked and everything was fine, but sometimes they are afraid of fraud etc.

I’m a little confused, a 50EUR purchase in London, UK? Also which country was the Barclaycard issued in? You’ll probably also find that banks are much twitcher around merchants like Nike and Apple because their products hold value really well, and are easy to sell on the second hand market. Makes those products a really great way to exfiltrate stolen funds because the products are almost as liquid as actual cash.
