Lucas François Bernard Hernández Pi (born 14 February 1996), known simply as Lucas, is a French professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Atlético Madrid as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Marseille, France, while his father was playing for Olympique de Marseille, Lucas joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2007, aged 11.[1] On 9 November 2013, while still a junior, he was called up by manager Diego Simeone for a La Liga match against Villarreal CF,[2] but remained unused in the 1–1 away draw on the following day.[3]

Lucas made his senior debut on 26 April 2014, starting for the reserves in a 0–1 away loss against Real Sociedad B for the Segunda División B championship.[4] He appeared in three further matches during the season, as his team narrowly avoided relegation; he also signed a new deal with the club in June, running until 2018.[5]

Lucas made first-team debut on 3 December 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 away success over CE L'Hospitalet for the campaign's Copa del Rey.[6] He made his debut in the main category of Spanish football on the 21st, coming on as a late substitute for Guilherme Siqueira in a 4–1 away win against Athletic Bilbao.[7]

On 10 August 2015, Lucas renewed his contract until 2019 and was definitely promoted to the main squad.[8] His maiden appearance in the UEFA Champions League took place on 15 March 2016, as he replaced injured Diego Godín for extra time of the round-of-16 tie against PSV Eindhoven (0–0 after 120 minutes, 8–7 penalty shootout win);[9] he entered at the same point in the final, a shootout loss to neighbours Real Madrid in the San Siro on 28 May.[10]

International career

Lucas gained his first cap on 6 March 2012, playing the full 90 minutes for the French under-16 team in 1–1 friendly draw against Italy at Coverciano. In 2014, he also appeared with the under-18 and under-19 sides.

Lucas' father, Jean-François, was also a footballer and a centre back. He too played for Atlético Madrid.[11]
