Lucas' Dream Come True: An Exchange of Heart
The story of Lucas, a young Atlético de Madrid fan from Medina del Campo, has moved the Rojiblancos. At just five years old, Lucas had a dream: for José María Giménez, his idol, to see the drawing he had prepared for him.
A child’s drawing that depicted Josema alongside the Atleti crest and a clear message: ‘I am Lucas’. During the warm-up before the match against Real Sociedad at the Metropolitano, Josema noticed Lucas’ drawing among the multitude of banners dedicated to the Uruguayan player.
But the story didn’t end there. After the match, Giménez approached Lucas and his brother Martín, who were enjoying the match in the south stand, with an unexpected proposal: to exchange his game jersey for the drawing.
The exchange was completed, sealing a magical moment for Lucas, who has since been sleeping embraced by his idol’s shirt. The club, moved by the story, shared a video on social media showing Josema with the drawing, generating even more excitement among the fans. Lucas’ family is now debating where to display the precious shirt, with a clear majority in favor of hanging it in their living room. A dream come true that resonates strongly in the heart of every Colchonero.
