French · Marseille, France · Born 6 October 1997French left-back known for his attacking prowess and pace, key player for AC Milan and France national team, World Cup 2022 runner-up.
Théo Bernard François Hernández was born in Marseille, France in 1997 — his older brother Lucas is also a professional defender. Real Madrid's academy produced him before AC Milan paid £20 million in 2019. His five Milan seasons have produced the 2022 Serie A title — the club's first in eleven years — and a Champions League Final appearance in 2023. He scored in the 2023 Champions League Final against Inter Milan in the Städtisches Derby. He represented France 31 times — competing with his brother Lucas for the same left-back position in the national team, a unique sibling competition. His combination of pace — consistently among the fastest players in Serie A — with attacking dynamism and crossing ability from left-back makes him the most offensively potent full-back in European football after Trent Alexander-Arnold. He was voted Serie A's best player in 2021-22. He is the most decorated of the Hernández brothers despite joining professional football later.
