Bayern's France international Lucas Hernandez is currently anxiously awaiting the verdict of the local court in Madrid on Thursday, where he was barred from contacting his girlfriend for six months after he had beaten him up while playing for Atletico Madrid in 2017. But the two reconciled and went to Las Vegas for a wedding and honeymoon together four months after the beating, violating the Madrid court's inadmissibility order, when Lucas was arrested after returning to Madrid. In 2019, a Madrid court ruled that Lucas was sentenced to 6 months in prison.
After the 2019 sentence came into effect, the 6-month prison sentence has not been executed because Lucas had already transferred from Atletico Madrid to Bayern in that year. According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Hernandez has been recalled by the Madrid court in mid-October, and lucas appeared in Madrid on October 19, where the local court informed him that he had 10 days to voluntarily enter the prison and complete his 6-month sentence. If you want to be exempt from jail time, you must appeal and get recognized within 10 days. Lucas then appealed, and the Madrid court will decide on October 28 whether to retry the case or dismiss the appeal. If it is the latter, Lucas will go to prison for the next six months, or the Spanish side will issue an arrest warrant.
Lucas
In addition to the parties lucas himself, Bayern clubs are also closely following the progress of the case. Former Bayern president Hoeness has publicly said that the Spanish approach is too absurd, because Lucas and his girlfriend at the time are already married and are now going to jail for what happened a few years ago. Hoeness said.
Although Lucas was a French player, he moved to Spain with his family at the age of 4 and joined the Atletico academy at the age of 11. Lucas was already an absolute mainstay at Atletico in 2017, and on February 3 of that year, he and his girlfriend Amelia got into an argument on the road, and the two got into a big fight, and there was a serious physical conflict, and both of them were injured to varying degrees during the post-injury examination. At that time, a Madrid court ruled that both men should do 31 hours of community service and banned Lucas from reaching Amelia by any means for six months, and the two sides must maintain a distance of 500 meters.

However, the mutual beating did not affect Lucas and Amelia's relationship, and they quickly reconciled, and they had a wedding in Las Vegas in June 2017, followed by a honeymoon. This would have been a good thing, but the Madrid court found Lucas to have violated the no-contact order, arresting the two after returning to Madrid after their honeymoon and sentencing Lucas to 6 months in prison in 2019.
Although he was imprisoned for getting married and honeymooning, Lucas's career has progressed by leaps and bounds since entering the palace of marriage. In 2018, he first won the World Cup in Russia with France as the main left-back, and joined Bayern in the summer with a transfer fee of 80 million euros, and became the champion in the history of Bayern! Since the 6-month prison term coincided with Lucas's time at Bayern, he never carried out, but always left a "tail", and now Lucas has to worry about it.

After appearing in court in Madrid on 19 October, Lucas arrived in Portugal on 20 October to play in bayern and Benfica's Champions League match, and last weekend he also played in the league between Bayern and Hoffenheim, without allowing his personal affairs to affect Bayern's matches. Now, Lucas's lawyer Barcelo is already preparing for the worst, and once the client's appeal is rejected by the court, Barceló will fight with the Madrid court, so that Lucas can only go to jail at night and can participate in Bayern training and competition normally during the day.
For Lucas, now 25, six months without normal training will have a severe impact on his career. Lucas's lawyer has appealed against him, and according to the lawyer named Carlos Barcelo, if he does want to go to jail, he will try to get Lucas to serve his sentence in Germany, because Lucas has settled in Germany and because the sentence is shorter. Barceló also revealed to the German newspaper Bild that if he can serve a sentence in Germany, he will apply for the person to go to jail at night, so that he can participate in training and competition normally during the day. There is also precedent for this – former Bayern president Hoeness was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison for tax evasion, when Hoeness applied to regain his freedom during the day and spend the night in prison.
On October 28, if Lucas's appeal is dismissed, fans may see his "spectacle" of running around the Bayern base and the place of imprisonment every day for the next six months, but some fans said that the impact on the players is not large, "just change the place to sleep!" ”
