Spanish football LIVE Q&A: Ben Hayward takes your questions on Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and beyond

The Evening Standard is expanding its La Liga football coverage and we want you involved from the start.

In addition to dedicated Manchester- and Liverpool-based reporters joining our London team, we also have a man in Madrid reporting on all things Spanish football.

Ben Hayward has more than a decade’s experience covering football across Spain, including eight years in Barcelona.

As a way of introduction, Ben will be hosting a live Q&A session on Thursday, August 16.

Is there a question you wanted answering about Spanish football? This is the time to ask.

How will Real Madrid look under Julen Loptegui? Who are Barcelona's new summer signings? Why does Diego Simeone always wear black?

Need information on that new Premier League import from La Liga? Ben is your man.

Join us on Standard Sport's Facebook page on Thursday, August 16 from 12:30pm BST.
