He began his professional career with Atletico Madrid after playing youth football with Rayo Majadahonda in Spain.

Lucas Hernandez, a 22-year-old center defender, is married to Amelia Ossa Llorente. In 2017, they tied the knot. Lucas, on the other hand, prefers to keep his personal life as secret as possible. Hernandez was arrested in February 2017 when they were dating for allegedly beating his girlfriend.

Hernandez was born in Marseille while his father, Jean-François, was a player for Olympique de Marseille. He moved to Spain when he was four years old (as a result, he speaks French with a slight Spanish accent) and joined Atlético Madrid’s youth system in 2007, when he was 11 years old, from CF Rayo Majadahonda.

He was called up by manager Diego Simeone for a La Liga match against Villarreal CF on November 9, 2013, while still a junior, although he did not play in the 1–1 away draw the next day.

Hernandez made his senior debut on April 26, 2014, starting for the reserves in a 0–1 away loss against Real Sociedad B in the Segunda División B; he also signed a new contract with the club in June, which runs until 2018.

Hernandez’s contract was extended until 2019 on August 10, 2015, and he was officially promoted to the first team. On 15 March 2016, he made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League, replacing injured Diego Godin in extra time of a round-of-16 tie against PSV Eindhoven (0–0 after 120 minutes, 8–7 penalty shootout win); he returned at the same point in the final, a shootout loss to rivals Real Madrid in the San Siro on 28 May.

Hernandez’s €80 million release clause was activated, according to Atlético.

Hernandez’s right knee’s medial collateral ligament was damaged during a medical checkup by Bayern Munich medical professionals. The injury necessitated surgical intervention. Hernandez underwent a successful operation on his right knee on March 28, 2019. Hernandez’s season at Atlético was cut short as a result of the operation. Hernandez scored one goal in 14 La Liga appearances. He appeared in 22 games across all competitions and scored one goal.

He also played for the under-18 and under-19 teams in 2014. For his efforts the following year, he was named to the 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship Team of the Tournament.

Manager Didier Deschamps brought Hernandez up to the senior team in March 2018 for friendlies against Colombia and Russia. In the 2–3 loss in Paris, he made his debut against the former, replacing Lucas Digne for the final 14 minutes.
