They had a minute's silence at the Real Madrid vs Napoli Champions League game last night to mark the death of a former club president. Unusually it was accompanied by music - from Once upon a Time in the West. Don't know the story but I presume it was a beloved piece of music for him. And why not.

Real and/or the Bernabéu stadium seem to have an arrangement with the Maestro because they usually use Jill's Theme for minute's silences (is this the correct plural?). At least I have heard it several times.

But Morricone himself is a devout Roma fan.

Yes, devout.
As opposed to casual, couldnt-give-a-toss barely-remember-to-check-on-their results part-time percy.

As Orbital says, Real Madrid have used Jill's Theme for a minutes silence at the Bernabeu for a number of years now. I once asked Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague at a book signing why they used it and he said he didn't know but he'd like to find out!

(He was signing copies of his book of Rafa Benitez, fact fans).

I've got that book Thomas (without anyone's scribble on it).

And it's not really silence if music is playing, is it?
They should just call it a minutes music playin'.
