Almost six months after the unexpected departure of Diego Maradona, the tributes to Pelusa do not stop. The images that go around the world today are those of Alina Luz Akselrad, a model who participates in Miss Universe 2021 and who in her typical Argentine dress immortalized the figure of D10S.
Like a true Maradonian, Miss Argentina 2020 appeared on the catwalk as a player and honored the memory of one of the best players in soccer history by dressing up as a player. She wore stockings with shorts and a shiny shirt identical to the Albiceleste shirt, with Diego's 10 printed on her back.
As if this were not enough, Alina closed her parade of typical costumes with a flourish by opening her shirt to highlight a T-shirt that has Maradona's face printed on it. With this veneration, the model became a trend and now everyone wants to know who she is. Here at Goal we tell you.
WHO IS ALINA LUZ AKSELRAD, THE MISS UNIVERSE ARGENTINE MODEL?
Alina was born on September 22, 1998, in Córdoba, Argentina. She is a broadcaster and studied to be an Ontological Coach.
Her interest in modeling came after the bullying she suffered as a teenager due to her being overweight. That led her to launch a campaign against the stereotypes present in beauty pageants under the slogan "beauty is not measured or weighed".

The Miss Universe event takes place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and there, Alina Luz Akselrad showed the planet what Maradona means to Argentines.
"Maradona said: 'I only ask you to let me live my own life. I never wanted to be an example.' and Blanca with pride and loyalty," Alina wrote on her official Instagram account.
WHY WAS HIS TYPICAL SUIT MARADONA?
During her parade, the model even had the luxury of dominating the ball. The highly praised outfit was made by Juan Martínez Camisetas, with details by Claudia Vieira and crystals by Ago Moda. When questioned about her choice of suit, Alina expressed the feelings of millions of South Americans.
"This year my Argentina suit is inspired by the passion that unites us, by what makes the 23 provinces come together to shout a goal. What makes there no rivalry when Argentina is playing, what makes our hearts beat , that we feel that pride, that we travel and they tell us 'hey, Messi, Maradona', that's Argentina. Argentina is passion, it's River - Boca, it's Talleres - Belgrano... Happy with the theme of the suit, "he explained.
This is how Diego Maradona is still present everywhere, like the good God he is for Argentines.
