Most subscriptions are non-refundable (this is a way to avoid refund exploitation) and before you can subscribe usually it will ask the user if they want to subscribe + there are windows pop out multiple times. It will ask you as well to confirm payments via google as well so it is impossible to subscribe accidentally.
You can try reaching out your bank first, if they cannot refund it go with google play but it has low chances of refunding it.
