‘We were eating and I looked at her leg,’ Julian said. ‘That’s when I realised the mark that she had.
‘She told me that she saw it too, but that she did not care.
‘As a fan, I realised it quickly.’
Julian quickly took a picture of the suntan and posted it on Instagram.
He said: ‘My girlfriend got sunburned and they are going to call me crazy. But I see Diego. Is it Diego or not?’
He put the picture out to a vote on the social media app and more than 90 per cent of his followers agreed with him.
Julian revealed he was a huge fan of Maradona, who died on November 25 from heart failure at the age of 60.
‘I was a Maradonian all my life, thanks to what my father told me about him,’ Julian said.
‘It represents everything I feel for football, the love for the jersey and everything it transmitted on and off the pitch.’
