Mexico City, Apr 21 (AFP) The Europa League trophy was stolen after being displayed at a publicity event in Mexico, only to be recovered a few hours later, authorities in the state of Guanajuato said today.

The trophy had been on display at the football stadium in the city of Leon on Friday night, only to be taken from a car after the event.
