Lucas François Bernard Hernández (born 14 February 1996), known simply as Lucas, is a French professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Atlético Madrid mainly as a central defender.
Born in Marseille, France, while his father was playing for Olympique de Marseille, Lucas joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2007, aged 11. On 9 November 2013, while still a junior, he was called up by manager Diego Simeone for a La Liga match against Villarreal CF, but remained unused in the 1–1 away draw on the following day.
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. 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.
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. 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.
