Christiano Ronaldo's new piece of art is truly a sight to behold.

Christiano Ronaldo is one of the biggest soccer stars on the planet and has had plenty of highlight-reel goals to keep us mesmerized for days. So it's no surprise that one of those incredible goals had been immortalized in one of the most extravagant ways possible: a goal portrait made entirely of Swarovski crystals.

The portrait was made by a Colombian artist named "Mr. Bling," and shows off Ronaldo's bicycle kick goal against Juventus in last year's Champions League Quarter-Final. The goal is an iconic moment in Ronaldo's career and helped propel his team to an eventual third-straight Champions League title. While it isn't disclosed how much the entire portrait cost, it was reported as being worth millions according to Sports Illustrated.

This isn't the first portrait of this kind "Mr.Bling" has created. The artist also did a portrait of Brazilian soccer star Neymar which was just as extra. He's also done pieces for other notable soccer stars like Ronaldinho, Luka Modric, Marcelo, Juan Cuadrado, and Hulk.

Now Ronaldo is playing with Juventus and is looking to earn his fourth-straight Champions League trophy. Considering how well he's played this season, that goal isn't too much of a stretch.
